I figured out that chilling cookie dough overnight makes a huge difference

The cookies come out so much thicker and more flavorful after a cold rest.

Last year I baked a batch without chilling the dough... they always spread out too thin. I honestly thought the overnight rest was just a myth. But I tried it with my usual chocolate chip recipe and it completely changed my mind. The texture is way better and the taste seems richer somehow. Now I won't make cookies without planning for that fridge time.

Seriously? I always skip the chill step and mine come out perfect. Maybe it's your recipe, @walker.logan. Mine never spread too much.

I burned a batch last week because I got distracted by my cat, classic me lmao.
