It should chill for at least an hour.
Chilling cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and develop a better texture.
No, but how long you chill it will depend on if you want to roll them and cut shapes, or if you just want to make them into balls.
A baking tool to make formed cookies is called a cookie press. The cookie press can either be manual or electric. It consists of a tube to place the cookie dough, a stencil at one end to shape the cookies to give them uniformity and a plunger to press the cookie dough through the stencil of the press. In order to have the cookie press working suitably, the cookie dough needs to be at the correct consistency. Here are some tips for creating cookie dough with the perfect consistency. 1. Allow the cookie dough to reach room temperature before using in the cookie press. Several cookie recipes that call for the use of a press will have you refrigerate the cookie dough before using it. If you refrigerate the cookie dough too long, you may end up with dough that is too hard to manipulate and work with the press properly. 2. If the dough is too sticky and soft after taking it out of the fridge, add one tablespoon of flour at a time until the cookie dough is firm and workable. 3. If the cookie dough is too stiff after it has come to room temperature, add a tablespoon of milk or butter until the cookie dough is softer. Remember to not add too much butter, as this may cause the cookies to spread when baking. 4. Load the room temperature cookie dough into the press, and place in the fridge for ten minutes, which will allow the cookie dough to set up. 5. Never grease the baking sheets when you use a cookie press. The cookie dough will need to stick to the sheet. Remember to use recipes that are designed for the press. Do not add chips or sprinkles to the dough, as it can cause the press to jam.
It's the help with the sticky-ness factor! When dough is chilled it is much easier to manage.It actually prevents the dough from spreading too much. It is usually not that necessary when making drop cookies (depending on how you like your cookies) , but crucial for rolled (i.e. sugar cookies) and stenciled cookies

Yes, Dough can be be put in the refrigerator as long as you cover it very good. Depending on the dough, if you don't cover it well it will change colors. cookie dough can be put in the fridge to chill if you cover it with food wrap (not aluminum).
Chocolate chip cookie dough should be at room temperature for no more than 3 hours. Too long could spoil the dough and make it unhealthy to bake and eat. (Just like milk!)
Margarine may be substituted for butter when making dough as long as it is not "lite" or "low fat" margarine. It is a great option for Vegans.
