Peanut Mazapanes
- 2 cups roasted unsalted peanuts
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon smooth peanut butter
- Using a food processor, grind the peanuts until coarse.
- Add the powdered sugar and peanut butter and continue mixing for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until a compact paste is formed.
- Remove the peanut mazapan mixture from the food processor.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to 3/4-inch thick.
- With a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles of dough and carefully remove them onto a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper.
- You can reform and roll the dough again to yield the remaining rounds.
- Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate to store.
