Made these for my other half to share at work! However, instead of rolling the dough into balls, I shaped the chilled dough into long 'ropes' about 1 inch in diameter & then cut the ropes into 1-inch lengths & went on from there! Obviously the cookies weren't round, but that didn't detract from the very, very tasty flavor (LOVE THAT LEMON)!
