Stage 6 - 1 hour
Form the dough into a flat cake and wrap in stretch plastic film. Put in the fridge for 1 or 2 hours.
Stage 7 - 10 min.
Then roll out both cakes of dough into 2 large and fairly thin rectangles.
Stage 8 - 5 min.
Remove any remaining flour from the dough (with a soft brush, for example) and moisten the top of each rectangle using a pastry brush. This is so that the 2 pieces of dough will stick together.
Stage 9 - 3 min.

Stage 10 - 2 min.
Moisten the face which is now on top.

After 45 minutes, Cut the roll of dough into slices 0.5 or 1 cm thick.

Stage 17

Remarks
As always with shortbread-style biscuits, it is important not to overcook them. They should still be slightly yielding and not completely hard and dry.
You can vary this recipe however you wish, using flavours other than chocolate and matcha, so use your imagination. I have a little weakness myself for lemon and pistachio.
