- Cut the vanilla pod open lengthways and scrape out the seeds. Sift the flour and xylitol powder or icing sugar into a bowl. Add in remaining ingredients and with your hands, mix until a smooth dough has formed. Roll dough into a ball, and flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap, and chill 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to a thickness of about 4 mm. Using a round cookie cutter, make circles (6-7 cm in diameter) and cut a hole (3.5-4 cm in diameter) in the centre of each one. Place the circles on the prepared baking trays. Gather and reroll the dough as needed.
- Place 1 baking sheet of cookies in refrigerator until ready to bake. Bake remaining baking tray in preheated oven until cookies are set and lightly browned on bottom, about 12 minutes.
- Remove and cool baking tray on a wire rack 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, repeat procedure with remaining baking sheet of cookies.
- Meanwhile, chop both chocolate separately into small pieces and melt separately over a bain-marie. Coat half of cookies with a thin layer of milk chocolate and half with white chocolate. Sprinkle with pistachios, freeze-dried raspberries and dried cornflowers. Let stand until chocolate is set, about an hour. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Another gorgeous dessert! I kept trying to make the freeze dried raspberries into rose petals, and then I realize that rose petals would make a great addition to this dessert. David (C&L)
how gorgeous are these!
Don't think the tree can ever be decorated with these cookies as the cookies will be all gone, munched up before they get on the tree :p (well, unless there is unlimited supply of these cookies). So pretty!
