Can I refrigerate cookie dough that relies on lots of butter to spread the cookie during baking if I bring it to room temperature before baking?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I frequently refrigerate cc cookie dough and bake it off in small amounts. I will let it soften a bit before putting on the baking sheets. What works even better is to put it on the trays and then refrigerate them for a day or so since I was having a problem with too much spread while baking. This is something that @thorninmud told me to try. In any case, yes – you can refrigerate the dough and then let it soften some. I wouldn’t leave it more than about three days or so in the fridge though.
