Arrange 2 chocolate strips and 2 plain strips in a checkerboard pattern, brushing the beaten egg between the strips and gently pressing them together. Repeat with the remaining dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and use a knife to square off the edges of each block. Refrigerate about 30 minutes. Spray to 2 baking sheets with cooking spray or line them with wax paper. Remove the blocks from the refrigerator, unwrap and cut each crosswise into slices 1/4 inch thick. Place them 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes.
