I just finished making these. The batter was much to soft to roll into balls.....perhaps chilling time was left off the recipe? Not having the time to try chilling today, I put heaping teaspoons on parchment lined sheets and sprinkled sugar on top. Baked for 8 minutes. They turned out just fine and have that wonderful ...take me back to grandmas kitchen flavor! I will make them again.
