A technique I learned from Alton Brown for rolled cookies may work well here. Roll out your dough. Put plastic wrap over your dough to protect it. Then place a cookie sheet on top of the dough/wrap and place a few cups of ice cubes on the cookie sheet. Wait about 10-12 minutes. This will chill your dough and you do not have to move it into the fridge (which I never have room for anyway). Then you could continue with making your lattice or decorations.
