If your recipe instructions use melted butter, then use it even if you intend to chill or even freeze the cookie dough. It's always best to use the method and instructions as written for recipe assembly. A test bake in your kitchen may help determine which method pleases you and your lucky taste testers. As for the spices in the cookies, we haven't found chilling or even freezing makes a difference in final cookie flavor. Happy Baking! Irene@KAF
