Mooncakes are one of the most beloved varieties of traditional Chinese cookies. They’re shown whole or sliced, often stamped with an ornate pattern on top and sometimes revealing rich egg yolks inside.

These treats are quite calorie-dense and made from ingredients that might surprise you—lotus seed paste, sweet red beans and even duck egg yolks. That unexpected combination hasn’t stopped people from exchanging mooncakes as gifts with family and friends, especially during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
