Carenin...I had the same problem when I 1st made these cookies ..easiest thing to do is refridgerate the dough for min 1 1/2 hours before rolling into balls. Good luck These are my favorite Christmas and Easter cookies ..found thr recipe when I was 10 then lost it till I was in my 20's but checked every cookbook in the library for them till one year visiting with an aunt I found it in her cookbook..I did the dance of joy ..now my kids teachers do the dance of joy when i bake them for Christmas.

Delicious, Needs work,or there is something missing in the recipe. You can not roll the dough. Its to soft to roll. Any suggestions?
