Serious question, did everyone else know you're supposed to chill cookie dough overnight?
I've been baking chocolate chip cookies for 8 years and always wondered why mine spread out flat and thin like pancakes. My sister in law watched me drop dough straight into a hot oven last Thanksgiving and just said 'you know that needs to sit in the fridge first, right?' Tried it with a 24 hour chill on a batch last night and the difference is unreal, so what other basic stuff am I missing?
