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.

Roll under your hands to even up the shape and seal the seam well.

Stage 14 - 45 min.

Stage 15 - 5 min.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F).

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.
Keeping: A few days in an airtight tin.
