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