Cover and chill for at least 25 minutes, but can also be made a day ahead and chilled until just before ready to bake and serve.

Preheat oven to 400.
Bake 7-10 minutes, or until they crack and a toothpick inserted in the center tests clean.

These can also be frosted with a mocha buttercream and served at a later time, for they do keep well in the refrigerator.
