I am not as clever as the rest of you! I just got on to this method last week and I'm 73. So sad. But I did make up cookies one day and bake the next. What a great idea. It worked well for me and I will probably make up a bunch of cookie dough today for baking this week.

Normally, on the rare occasions I feel like baking, I do it all in one fell swoop—make, bake, eat! 30 minute chill is about all the patience I have. And I prefer soft/almost doughy cookies and golden, not brown. Not that I’m picky. I will eat burnt cookies that require a dental visit afterward. And what’s wrong with spread? Means a bigger cookie! LOL.
That said, it is easier to work with chilled dough, to roll consistent sizes and not get hands as messy. Chilling 10 days? Wouldn’t trust the eggs. Freezing, yes, but good grief— my will power is not that strong!

I bake cookies, bread, cakes and pies during the year but on holidays I buy them from a bakery along with other baked items. I don't want to cook or bake much on holidays. It's my holiday too. Our favorite cookies are iced vanilla cookies. The bakery decorates them too pretty to eat.
