Step 1

First, add the peanuts to a blender or food processor. Pulse a few times until you achieve a coarse meal. Stop frequently to scrape down the sides and bottom for an even consistency.

Step 2

Add in the powdered sugar and continue pulsing or blending until the mixture sticks together when you press it between your fingers. This process can take anywhere from 2-10 minutes depending on your blender.

Step 3

Place the cookie cutter on a plate, board, or piece of parchment paper. Using your fingers or the back of a small spoon, press a few tablespoons of the mazapan mixture very firmly into the cookie cutter.

Step 4

While pressing down on the mazapan close to the edges, carefully slide the cookie cutter up. Continue this process with the rest of the mixture.

Step 5

Once all the candies are shaped, wrap them in paper or cling wrap and store them in an airtight container for later. Happy eating!
