I ended up with cookies spread out and ran together into a gigantic cookie blob. This is the same thing that happens to me with snickerdoodle cookies no matter how long I refrigerate the dough. So even though these didn't form a cookie, they were still awfully tasty. I decided to play the spreading out to my advantage and decided to make them in bar form the next time.
