In one container, mix the resulting creamy egg mass and flour mixed with cocoa and vanilla. Mix thoroughly, cover the dough with a lid and place in the refrigerator for an hour.
While the dough is cooling in the refrigerator, prepare the baking sheet and preheat the oven. How long the oven should warm up and to what temperature, each housewife should determine for herself, since this is due to the peculiarities of the kitchen stove that is used in each specific case. All the necessary information should be contained in the instructions for use of this particular cooker. Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper.
