Two recipes I would like to make

If anyone knows of a recipe somewhere on the 'Net that's similar to these, I would appreciate being pointed there. In the meantime, I'm going to soon take a crack at making these, figuring out the ingredients and how they are made should be quite interesting.

These mango butter cookies I bought at the T&T Chinese superstore. They taste excellent, like mango, though, given that there are no ingredients on the packaging, a practice in many Chinese stores, I would suspect that they use mango flavouring and orange colouring rather than actual mangos, though it may be mango juice. Looks simple enough to make.
