It might be the yolk that causes problems in these. I use to omit it and never had problems. They really come out like shortbread.

Well the funny thing is it came out like shortbread with the yolk the first time but sitting in the refrigerator (with the yolk) over night the next baking came out too soft.

I may try without the yolk but when you didn't add yolk wasn't the batter still too soft to form balls?

No, I don't think so. Unfortunately I haven't made them for the past two years, so I don't quite recall it. But then I didn't let them sit in the refrigerator, so maybe that's what causes problems. I'm not sure how a dough of chickpea flour reacts when sitting in the fridge for a longer while.
