Cherry Wonders

4 ozs. [icing] sugar
1 oz. cocoa
1 oz. shelled walnuts
3 ozs. ground almonds
White of 1 egg
Glace cherries
Vanilla essence

Method: Chop the walnuts finely. Rub the icing sugar through a sieve, add the almonds, walnuts, and cocoa, and mix all together. Whisk the white of egg slightly, and add to the dry ingredients enough of it to make a fairly stiff paste. Add the vanilla, and mix all together well. Divide the mixture into portions the size of a walnut, roll in the hands into shape, then dent the centre and press in half a cherry.
