These won't be anywhere near as fancy as the ones that are made in Chinese bakeries (unless you have a mooncake mold!), but they taste very similar.

Easy Chinese Moon Cakes

1/4 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 can of red bean paste (may substitute strawberry or your favorite jam)

Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine the butter, sugar and 1 egg yolk and stir. Mix in the flour. Form the dough into one large ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate dough for half an hour.

Unwrap the chilled dough and form golfball-sized balls in the palms of your hand. Flatten slightly and make a deep impression with your thumb in the center of each mooncake and fill with about half a teaspoon of paste or jam.

Brush each cake with the other beaten egg yolk and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes or just until the outside edges are slightly brown.
