Hi there, Jessica! Cookie dough that is cold vs. room temperature will spread less, as the scooped ball of dough will take longer to warm through. If the dough is colder, you may find that the edges of the cookies are a bit thinner and the middle is a bit domed and taller. For tips on adjusting the texture of your favorite cookie recipe, check out our Cookie chemistry and Cookie science blog articles. There you'll find tips on adjusting for a recipe to make, crunchy, crispy, soft, chewy, and cakey cookies! We hope this helps and happy baking!
