Do I need to chill the dough?
YES, As in the instructions, chill the dough 30-45 minutes before baking. This will keep the cookies from spreading.

How do I keep my cookies soft and not turning so dark?
I always underbake them a few minutes. Remove them from the oven when the edges are light golden brown. Allow the cookies to set on the baking pan. They will continue to bake. Transfer to a cooling rack.
