Place the peanuts in a processor and blend to obtain a fine powder. Heat the water over medium heat, add the sugar, and cook on low heat until a syrup forms. Add the cream of tartar, peanut powder, vanilla essence, mix, and incorporate the egg white. Cook on low heat for 5 minutes. Place the mixture in a bowl and add the powdered sugar. Mix until you obtain a dough. On a board with wax paper, place the mixture and flatten it using a rolling pin. With a small ring, cut out circles and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Remove the excess marzipan. Serve and enjoy.
