However, after refrigerating the dough for five hours (three over the recommended two) I could not, for the life of me, roll it into balls. It was the consistency of frosting. I put it back into the fridge for an additional four hours and it was still too soft to be rolled.

I ended up using a spoon to drop ball-like shapes of dough onto a waxed cookie sheet. I was able to salvage the recipe but they definitely didn’t turn out very pretty! I’ll have to try this one again and fiddle with the ingredients.
