I always refrigerate then bake.  Good luck to you.  And have some fun.

Refrigerate so they don't spread and make sure the oven is pre-heated all the way.

Does anyone here refrigerate their cookie dough before baking or do you just make the dough and bake?

Not I

I never refrigerate them. They spread out a little bit, but I alternate rows of 4 and 3 cookies and they come out fine.

Just placed mine in the fridge. I'll make them in a few days and then freeze them till Christmas week (else they will be gone in 24 hours thanks to the menfolk in my house).

My preference is to chill before baking. Shape is better that way.

I love fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, my favorite cookie.  I bake in one sheet pan at a time or just a few cookies at a time.  I roll my cookie dough into logs and keep in the fridge or freezer and cut off cookies and bake as needed.

I make Ina Garten's CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES, which always get RAVE reviews, and I've never refrigerated the dough.
