I've just started chilling my cookie dough over night and it works great! What also works great is, when you're done making your cookie dough, divide the batter into 4 equal balls. Taking a sheet of wax paper for each ball, roll the cookie dough into a log, wrap the wax paper around the log, twist the ends closed and chill. When you are ready to bake your cookies, simply peel the wax paper off and slice the log into cookie sized pieces. It makes the dough super easy to handle and makes it easy to get the exact size you want. You can even freeze it for future use. I love being able to pull one or more dough logs out as needed and knowing about how many cookies I can get out of each. This way you can have fresh cookies whenever you want them.
