   almonds.  Allow to soak and absord color, stirring several times. To make
   cookies, beat margarine, powdered sugar, gelatin, vanilla, and salt in a
   large bowl with electric mixer until fluffy.  On low speed, gradually beat
   in flour.  Chill 30 minutes.  Drain almonds on several layers of paper
   towels. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Have baking sheets ready.

   sugar.  Insert an almond stem in wide end of each berry. Place 1 inch apart
   on baking sheets. Bake 11 to 12 minutes or until set but now browned. Makes
