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

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!
