These soft chocolate chip cookies do not require chilling before baking! However, if you need to make it ahead of time, refrigerating until you need to use it is perfectly fine. Just make sure to let it come to room temperature before trying to scoop it with a medium cookie scoop! If your dough starts to be really soft, it means the butter has gotten too warm. Try sticking the dough in the fridge to get the dough to the right temperature again.
