Notes
I typically do NOT chill my snickerdoodle cookie dough before rolling it into balls. It certainly doesn't hurt to chill it, and I would recommend it if you have difficulty with your cookies spreading too much or going too flat. But generally speaking, I feel like I have good results without chilling so I don't bother.
