ALMOND LADDOUS (EAST INDIAN) 
1 c. finely chopped almonds
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 c. candied cherries or dates

In a dish mix all the ingredients (except the cherries and dates). Add a little water until you have a stiff dough. Shape the dough into small balls the size of nuts with your hands. Bake them in a hot oven, 400 degrees, for 5 to 10 minutes. Make a small hole in the middle of the cookie with your little finger. Put in the cherry or date. Makes 20 cookies.
