I would have given this recipe 5 stars, however, as written it's problematic. Here's the low down I got from my sister who bakes all the time. First off, the dough absolutely needs to be chilled prior to baking. Second, the oven temperature should be 350. I tried this, and the balls were perfect. Lastly, use unsalted butter when baking with a recipe that calls for salt. Using 3/4 teaspoons of salt and salted butter will make the cookies too salty. This same dough can be used to make crescents, or if you don't mind them spreading, they make a very tasty cookie.
