From my copy of the Boeing Operational Manual, Normal Procedures-Amplified Procedures:-
"If possible, after high thrust operation, including reverse thrust, run the engines at or near idle for three minutes before shutdown to cool the engine hot sections. Time at or near idle, such as taxiing before shutdown, is applicable to this three minute period. If needed, the engines may be shut down with a one minute cooling period. Routine cool down times of less than three minutes before shutdown are not recommended."
