Chocolate Christmas biscuits, also suitable for tea biscuits, very crumbly, makes about 40 biscuits

Melt the chocolate coating one at a time in a water bath. Make a shortcrust pastry with sifted flour, butter, egg yolk, and powdered sugar. Halve the dough and work the melted chocolate coating into each half. Add the vanilla seeds to the white chocolate coating and the cocoa powder to the dark chocolate coating. Chill the dough for about 1 hour. Knead until smooth and work. Combine the doughs as desired to create a marbled pattern. This could create a checkerboard pattern or something similar. Glue different strands of dough together with egg white. Cut the slices and place them on baking paper and bake at 160°C for about 10 minutes until golden brown. Tip: Work the dough while it’s cool and use a little flour. The pastries will spread out a little, so place them on the baking tray with more space between them.
