Forgot to chill shortbread dough...

[SoYo]

...bugger. Will it now fail?

I've never chilled shortbread dough ... works fine for me!

You're supposed to chill it?

Leave more room on the baking sheet to allow for it spreading, and keep an eye on the cooking time. Should be fine though.

Ah thanks, I've always chilled it but completely forgot in my sleep deprived state. It worked fine, maybe it's just a time consuming myth my DM has passed on to me!
