My aunt told me to always chill cookie dough overnight and I finally tried it
She said it makes a huge difference in flavor and spread. I made my usual chocolate chip recipe but split it in half, baking one batch right away and chilling the other for a full 24 hours. The chilled dough cookies were thicker, chewier, and had a richer taste. The warm dough batch spread out flat and were way more crisp. I won't skip the chill time again. Has anyone else tested this with other types of cookies, like sugar or peanut butter?

Sounds like a lot of fuss for a cookie.

Right? Like @xena_jackson gets it. People are out here making flow charts for the perfect chocolate chip texture and debating sea salt brands. It's flour, sugar, and butter. My grandma just mixed stuff in a bowl and they were amazing. Feels like we're overcomplicating a simple good thing.

Wonder if @xena_jackson thinks grandma's recipe would hold up in a blind taste test?
