Follow the crumbs and they'll lead you to the best cookie spots in Singapore.
Did someone say cookies? As much as we love our burnt cheesecakes, macarons, scones, donuts and cupcakes, we’ll always have space in our hearts for this classic baked treat. From chewy and soft to chunky and crunchy, these are our go-to spots when we’re craving cookies in Singapore.
Best cookies in Singapore
1. Ben’s Cookies
This English brand’s comeback to its original spot in Orchard Road got us all excited, we couldn’t help but give it a mega shoutout. Expect to see the iconic red tins on the shelves alongside classics like milk chocolate chunk and white chocolate chunk. In celebration of its comeback to our shores, Ben’s Cookies has unveiled two exclusive flavours: orange and milk chocolate, and ginger and dark chocolate.

2. Fluff Bakery
If there’s one place we would ever turn to for some of the best cookies in Singapore, it would be this local spot. Trust us when we say its crunchy sea salt chocolate chip cookies are like little bites of heaven. Baked to the perfect crispness and topped with flaky salt, you get a balance of sweet and salty. You’ll never go back to regular chocolate chip cookies again.

3. Burnt Ends Bakery
While this spot might be known for its deliciously fluffy donuts in a multitude of flavours, the cookies are nothing to scoff at. While the flavour selection isn’t huge, the crispy edges and soft chewy center will have you coming back for more. Pair it with a piping hot coffee or a cold glass of milk to complete the experience.

4. Yu Cookies
Sustainable, sugar-conscious, and guilt-free, snacking on these treats from Yu Cookies will definitely put a smile on your face. Thanks to its patented technology, these cookies release sugar slowly, preventing sugar rushes and making them healthier. These delights come in unique flavours too! Think coffee macadamia, tangerine pu-er tea, and lychee rose.

5. Nasty Cookie
What started out as an online store in 2018 has since turned into a brick-and-mortar shop. Before we go on, let’s get one thing straight. There’s nothing nasty about these calorie-laden, jumbo-sized cookies. We don’t know how they do it but each cookie is chewy, chunky and a tad bit crunchy – trust us, the proof is in the pudding. The flavours may seem standard for dessert fiends, but boy are they decadent. Take the Oh! Smores and White Choc Bueno, for example. The former is stuffed with gooey marshmallows (break the cookie and watch it stretch), while the latter is mounted by a piece of Kinder Bueno.
Nasty Cookie, multiple locations including Funan and Orchard Gateway
6. Kooks Creamery
Here’s an ice cream parlour that puts out decadent molten lava cookies. Cut your spoon into the cookie and you’ll get a sweet puddle of matcha or chocolate oozing out. Don’t forget to top it with a scoop of ice cream to add a little frost to the warm cookie. Oh, you can even get these delectable bites delivered right to your doorsteps, ice cream included!
Kooks Creamery, multiple locations including Serangoon and Bedok
7. Old Seng Choong
Known for its bakes inspired by local flavours, Old Seng Choong takes its experimentation to the next level by doling out crunchy cookies in flavours like laksa, cereal prawn, mala, and satay. If you’re a traditionalist at heart, you can stick to Earl Grey and coffee cookies, which are equally delish.

8. Spatula & Whisk
If you’re looking for one-of-a-kind cookies, this homegrown brand is your best bet. Where else can you find flavours such as Milo and coffee chocolate? We love that the cookies contain none of the nasties and preservatives, so you can keep munching on the treats without feeling guilty. Bonus points for its eco-conscious efforts of using kraft packs in order to reduce carbon footprint and environmental impact.

9. The Cookie Museum
For a fine dessert, a museum is definitely in order and the “exhibits” here are all edible! Jokes aside, this store has been offering gourmet cookies in Singapore for more than a decade. Popular choices include pandan chiffon, French rose lavender, and honey wildflower berry. For a hint of savoury, there’s the nasi lemak cookie.

10. Folks & Stories
Forget about calories and sink your teeth into Folk & Stories’ baked goods. The cookies are a beaut and look like tasty moons. For a classic flavour, try the Ambitious Sailor, a simple but decadent sea salt dark chocolate cookie. Other popular creations include the Edgy Connoisseur, a miso cookie topped with caramelised white chocolate, and the Nutty Professor, a roasted pistachio and brown butter cookie. We suggest going for the signature box to try all the best-selling flavours!
Folks & Stories, #01-01, Anchorpoint, 370 Alexandra Road, Singapore 159953
11. Famous Amos
We’re pretty sure there’s a Famous Amos store just a stone’s throw away from you. Or you can simply follow the heady scent of these crunchy cookies baking in the oven. Get ’em by weight: 200g, 300g or 400g. Our top flavours would have to be no-nut chocolate chip, butterscotch chip pecan, and white chocolate chip macadamia.
Famous Amos, multiple locations including Wisma Atria and Nex
So, there you have it. The best cookies in Singapore. Happy munching, folks!
