if so. I cut this article out of the NYT in 1994. It is the best cookie I've ever tasted and it has a chewy texture. Every time I've made them people want the recipe. I can't find pictures. they are more of a half globe shape. OMG.

CHERRY-STUFFED ALMOND COOKIES

1 pound blanched almonds (about 3 cups whole nuts)

2 cups sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

3 egg whites

2 cups dried sour cherries, soaked in warm liquid and drained

full recipe in this article from 1994:

Hopefully, I'll want to bake this holiday season. I never know if the mood is going to hit me or not. If it does, I'm going to try these.

My favorites! I don't like really sweet sweets, which is why I love most nut-based cookies. They tend to just have a hint of sweetness. The Europeans have a lot of great almond, walnut, hazelnut, etc. based cookies, especially around Christmas. I'm not even a big sweet eater, but I love cookies like this!
