Round Medallion

What is the name of this chinese dessert confection?

It is a little round medallion shaped confection with green tea flavor on the outside and sweet black sesame seed paste filling inside. It has the imperial stamp on the top also.
it is not a mooncake - it is too small. it is about the size of an american silver dollar and roughly half an inch thick. It comes in a pack of about ten or so. My friend bought them when he was in China.

It maybe Cao Bing, which means grass cake. It's a tiny dessert made of glutinousrice and sugar outside, which is with many kinds of flavor including green tea flavor.
In Chinese, it is called 草饼, which is very popular in southern China, especially HongKong and Taiwan.

It is absolutely healthy. Enjoy it, honey.
