Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 F. In a food processor, mix almond paste, sugar, cocoa and salt until smooth. Pour in egg whites and mix thoroughly. Pulse in almonds and cherries just to blend. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets. Bake for 15 minutes or until edges are set but center is still soft. Cool on racks. To decorate: Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or in a microwave. Make a zigzag design on cooled cookie and dry until it has set.
