It gives the liquid and the dry ingredients time to become more of a whole. With soft doughs, it makes it easier to handle.
With refrigerator cookies the dough is formed into a roll and chilled in the refrigerator usually overnight. The dough is then sliced into rounds and baked.
Rolled cookies are easier to roll and shape when the dough is thoroughly chilled - at least for several hours.
Take some frustration out of the process by chilling the dough for at least 1 hour before putting it into the press. After loading the tube, put the remaining cookie dough back in the refrigerator to keep it chilled. Room temperature dough does not separate well. Chilled dough 'breaks off' easier. Next, do not use warm/hot cookie sheets or baking stones. The dough won't stick to a warm sheet/stone very well. Next, pull the press straight up - not to the side. Lastly, work quickly while the dough is still chilled.
You can eat anything you want to. Of course, there are consequences, depending on what you eat. Sugar dough should be fine, as long as you've used pasteurized eggs and/or chilled/frozen the dough, if it's not freshly made.
Santa's whiskers are a type of refrigerator cookie. If the dough is frozen, it will need to be thawed or the cookie will not brown properly. The dough needs to be chilled but not frozen.http://www.landolakes.com/recipe/1180/santas-whiskers
To safely store and preserve chilled cookie dough for future use, you can wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookie dough by shaping it into individual portions, placing them on a baking sheet to freeze, then transferring them to a freezer-safe bag or container. When ready to bake, simply thaw the dough in the refrigerator before baking as usual.

To prevent crumbly cookie dough from falling apart when shaping into cookies, try adding a little more moisture such as milk or water to the dough. Additionally, make sure the dough is well mixed and properly chilled before shaping.
To prevent dough from becoming sticky during baking, you can try adding a little more flour to the dough to absorb excess moisture. Additionally, make sure to knead the dough thoroughly to develop gluten, which can help reduce stickiness. Keeping the dough chilled before baking can also help maintain its texture.
