Why do I have to refrigerate the dough before I roll it out?

Refrigerating the dough will cause the fats in the dough to harden. The dough will get stiff making it easier to roll out. Cold dough also affects the cooking process as the cold fat hits the heat at a high temperature. We can get pretty scientific with this as fat provides numerous chemical functions when it comes to baking. The important thing to remember is that temperature matters. If a cookie recipe says to refrigerate, make sure you do it, otherwise you won’t end up with the right results.
