Directions
To make stems, mix water and green food color in a shallow bowl.
Add almonds.
Allow to soak and absorb 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℉ (190℃) degrees. Have baking sheets ready.
Form dough into 48 balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Taper one end of each to make a strawberry shape.
Roll in red sugar. Dip wider end in green 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.
