Is it okay to refridgerate a cookie batter overnight and bake it the next day?

I want to give my parents and in laws a cookie gift basket but I don't have time to do it all at once. I need to make the mixture, bake it, then wrap it. Is it okay if I make the mixture Saturday afternoon, bake the cookies (and wrap them) Sunday evening, and give the gift on Monday morning?

yes it is. Next time you want to do this do what i say instead. Double your recipie. Mix all at once. Lay out wax paper. drop enough for however many cookies you want at once on the middle of the paper. Roll the wax paper up. cover the roll w/ foil. Freeze. Any time you want to make cookies, take out a roll, cut your dough, place on cookie sheets & bake. I do this all the time. I can make cookies anytime I want w/ 10 min. notice (thats how long I bake them for) Its really great when someone unexpecidly calls & says they'll be over in 15 min.!!! pop them in, tidy up a bit, & then great ur guests w/ fresh baked cookies.
