Refrigeration allows the fats in cookie dough to become solidified and allows the flavors of butter, vanilla and other ingredients to blend with each other. The flours in the dough will also absorb more moisture, and any sugar that has not already melted will do so, which along with the solidified fat, produces improved texture.
Cookie dough will harden after 24 hours for two reasons. First, refrigerating the dough will cause the butter or shortening to crystalize and harden. Second, the flour, starch, and other ingredients will absorb water and cause more thickening.
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!)
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
Try putting the dough in the fridge for a few hours or over night. It should be fine. If not, try sprinkling the roller with a bit of flour! Good luck! =)
Well, honey, technically it's not recommended to use cookie dough that's been sitting out for more than 2 hours, let alone 24. Bacteria can party in that dough like there's no tomorrow. But hey, if you're feeling lucky and want to gamble with your gut, go ahead and bake those cookies. Just don't come crying to me if you end up with a case of the cookie crumbles.
That depends on whether the dough contains raw eggs, which must be refrigerated as soon as possible to prevent salmonella food poisoning. Dough that does not contain raw eggs may be left at room temperature for several hours without problems. However, nearly all cookie recipes benefit from having chilled (refrigerated) dough.
You have you refrigerate raw sugar cookie dough, but baked sugar cookies do not need to be refrigerated.
being a chef means you have to know how to measure using cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, gallons, and time such as : cook 3/5 cups of cookie dough for 14/60 hours
Well, a little bit cant kill you, but it is not good for you.It is possible to contract a salmonella infection from eating cookie dough if there are raw eggs in it. Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Most persons infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, and most persons recover without treatment. However, in some persons, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. So you are better off not eating the cookie dough. Just put it in the oven and wait a few minutes to cook. You're intestines will thank you.

Yes, so long as the ambient temperature was not unduly warm. (Since leaving eggs or dairy for four hours in a warm place would be a food-poisoning risk, even after baking).
