My aunt swore by room temp butter for cookies, and I finally tried it

She always said to leave the butter out for an hour before making chocolate chip cookies, but I never listened and just used it cold from the fridge. Last Sunday I actually did it her way for a batch of my usual recipe. The cookies spread perfectly and were way softer in the middle, just like she promised. Has anyone else had a simple tip from a family member totally change how something bakes?

Always thought it didn't matter, but room temp butter makes a huge difference for cookies.
