Mini-Gino – raspberries on chocolate cookies
: 
: Dessert
: 
: 
: 

: 25 cookies
 

A classic Stockholm dessert, created at the city’s PA&Co restaurant, downsized to a petit four with a summer flavour.
Ingredients
  • 50g butter
  • 1dl powdered sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ½ egg
  • 2 teaspoons cacao
  • 2dl flour
  • 25 raspberries
  • 100g white chocolate

Instructions
  1. Combine butter and sugar, then salt, egg, cacao and flour. Roll the dough to the thickness of a banana. Cut into 1½ cm-thick slices and place on a baking tray lined with oven paper. Using your thumb, make a pit in the middle.
  2. Bake at 200°C/400°F for 6 minutes. Remove the tray and pop a raspberry on each cookie.
  3. Cluster the cookies so they are close together and grate white chocolate generously over them. With oven on grill setting, gratinate for about 3 minutes.
Tips:
  1. Knead the dough just enough to combine the ingredients; too much will make the cookies tough.
  2. Keep a close eye on the cookies at the end so the chocolate doesn’t burn.

The sea buckthorn can be found on Sweden’s more barren coast line, and the taste is similar to passion fruit.  The sea buckthorn is in season in Sweden in September and October.
