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

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.
Keeping: A few days in an airtight tin.

Clarified butter
This is a way of melting butter to eliminate all the impurities. The clarified butter can then be heated without spoiling, and is more digestible. It is ideal for cooking at high temperatures where small black specks would spoil the appearance, or for emulsified sauces like béarnaise or mousseline.
