I finally get why my aunt always lets her cookie dough rest overnight

My cousin Sarah was over helping me bake last weekend and she saw me scooping dough straight into the oven. She was like "wait, no, you gotta let it chill first." I was all "ain't nobody got time for that." But she made me try it with half the batch. The rested ones came out thicker and chewier. Like way better. Now I'm wondering what else I've been rushing through that could use a pause. Does anyone actually plan their baking a whole day ahead or do you just forget and do it last minute like me?

Those rested cookies always come out flat as pancakes for me.

Check your butter temperature. If it's too soft the cookies spread.
