Mooncake mold pastries recipe comparison

I bought so many mooncake molds (long story involving a rouge eBay seller) that I don't know what to do with them. So here is a compilation of pastries that utilise the mooncake maker.

Hakka moonlight biscuits

These use leftover golden syrup and cooked glutinous rice flour and don't require baking, only airdrying which I find odd and honestly, I'm not comfortable with.

MyKitchen101 (video) - makes her own quick golden syrup and air dry overnight.

ArinFood (video) - uses golden syrup and butter. Air dry for 2 days

Kathrine Kwa (video) - uses golden syrup and oil. Steams 20 minutes to cook.

Anncoo Journal black sesame version - Adds black sesame and uses crisco. Air dry for 2 days.

Mung bean cake

Very basically this is just the standard recipe for mung bean paste without even a binding agent eg glutinous rice flour or any flour

Macau almond cookies

Several variations, either using mung bean flour or making the flour from scratch, and adding almond meal.

Curious cuisine - Almond flour, mung bean flour, rice flour. Explains that both green mung bean flour an yellow mung bean flour can be used.

WTTC - Explains difference between mung bean flour and mung bean starch

- Suggests other variations e.g, salted egg yolk, black sesame, lard, floss instead of almonds.

- Ratio of mung bean flour to almond flour is 1:1 but can use all of one or the other.
