The resting time also allows the fat in the dough to rest. harden and reorganize itself, so you don't have it all melting its way out before cooking the other ingredients while you bake.

Basically, if you can rest the dough and then keep it really cold before it hits the oven, you'll get a better cookie.  The same principle applies with pie dough, too.
