Chocolate Chip Cookies

So I discovered something today when I made chocolate chip cookies. Now, I understand the rest of you are super duper cooks and probably already knew this. But, here's what I learned:

These are the first pan I baked. Just mixed them up and stuck them in the oven to bake. Kinda flat huh?
These pretty little cookies were the last pan I cooked. Notice how much "fluffier" they look? Both pans taste exactly the same, but the last one sure looked better!
Both pans were from the exact same batch of cookie dough. But the last one I stuck in the fridge for about 10 minutes before I baked them. Not sure why it made such a big difference, but it did! So, I guess stick the cookie dough in the fridge for 10 minutes before you bake them and they will turn out alot prettier :)

I know why this is true. It has to do with cooking with butter and white sugar.

Thanks for the advice! Mine are always flat-ish and I couldn't figure it out. :)
