This easy sugar cookie dough does not need to be chilled before baking, but you can store it in the refrigerator before baking if you need to. I would recommend chilling it for no more than 1 day; you will also need to bring the dough to room temperature before scooping and rolling. If you want to freeze the dough, I suggest rolling it into balls and freezing the dough balls. That will allow you to bake them right from the freezer instead of needing to thaw the dough first.
