American Cookies in Singapore: Chips Ahoy, Keebler, Moon Pie and More (2026)

Craving a proper American cookie in Singapore? We get it. Supermarket shelves here are packed with local and Asian biscuits, but the soft, chewy, chocolate-loaded cookies you see in American movies (and on every US snack haul on TikTok) are a lot harder to track down. This guide covers the best American cookies in Singapore, from Chips Ahoy and Keebler to the legendary Moon Pie, plus tips on choosing, storing and sharing them. Unwrap the Fun.

What makes American cookies different?

In Britain and much of Singapore, a "biscuit" usually means something thin, crisp and made for dunking in teh or kopi. In the US, a "cookie" is a broader idea. It can be crunchy, but the American favourites tend to lean soft, thick and chewy, with big chocolate chips, candy pieces or fillings packed in.

That chewiness comes down to the recipe. Soft-baked cookies use more brown sugar and moisture-holding ingredients, which keep the centre bendy instead of snapping. Crunchy cookies bake out more moisture and use more white sugar, which gives that crisp edge. Neither is better, it is purely a texture mood. The fun of American cookie aisles is that brands make both versions of the same flavour, so you can pick your team.

The other big difference is the mash-ups. American snack brands love to team up, so you get cookies loaded with M&M's, cookies stuffed with Reese's peanut butter cups, and peanut butter cups mixed with Oreo pieces. If you already love American candy, these crossovers are the natural next step.

The best American cookies to try in Singapore

Here are our current favourites, all in stock and ready for delivery.

Keeblers M&M Bitesize Cookies, 45g

Keeblers M&M Bitesize Cookies, 45g

Mini crunchy cookies dotted with colourful M&M's pieces, in a handy snack bag. They are the easiest crowd pleaser on this list and a brilliant pick for party bags, lunchboxes or a desk drawer stash.

Keebler Mini Fudge Stripes, 56g

Keebler Mini Fudge Stripes, 56g

A true American classic: shortbread-style rounds with a fudge-coated base and chocolatey stripes across the top. The mini size makes them perfect for snacking straight from the bag, and they go very well with a cold glass of milk.

Chips Ahoy Mini Big Bag, 80g

Chips Ahoy Mini Big Bag, 80g

Chips Ahoy has been one of America's best known chocolate chip cookies since the 1960s, and these minis are the crunchy original in bite-sized form. Great for sharing, sprinkling over ice cream, or crushing into a quick dessert topping.

Chips Ahoy Big Chewy, 71g

Chips Ahoy Big Chewy, 71g

Team soft, this one is for you. One big, bendy, chewy chocolate chip cookie in its own pack, closer to a bakery cookie than a biscuit. Warm it for a few seconds and it tastes fresh out of the oven.

Chips Ahoy! Chewy with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

Chips Ahoy! Chewy with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

Two American icons in one bite: chewy Chips Ahoy cookies studded with pieces of Reese's peanut butter cups. Sweet, salty and rich, and a full family-size pack, so it works for sharing (or not, we won't tell).

Chattanooga Moon Pie Double Decker Blueberry, 78g

Chattanooga Moon Pie Double Decker Blueberry, 78g

The Moon Pie has been made in Chattanooga, Tennessee for over a century: graham-style cookies sandwiched with marshmallow and coated in a flavoured shell. The Double Decker stacks three cookie layers with two layers of marshmallow, and this blueberry version is a fun twist on the classic.

Hostess Twinkies Vanilla

Hostess Twinkies Vanilla

Not technically a cookie, but no American snack cake list is complete without Twinkies: golden sponge fingers filled with creamy vanilla filling. They are a true American pop culture legend. Stock is limited, so grab them while you can.

Reese's White & Milk Choc PB Cups with Oreo, 39g

Reese's White & Milk Choc PB Cups with Oreo, 39g

For cookie lovers who also love chocolate: Reese's peanut butter cups in white and milk chocolate, with crunchy Oreo cookie pieces mixed in. It is the cookies and cream mash-up that peanut butter fans dream about.

How to choose: crunchy, chewy or cakey?

Not sure where to start? Use this quick cheat sheet:

  • Crunchy and dunkable: Keebler Mini Fudge Stripes, Keeblers M&M Bitesize and Chips Ahoy Minis. Great with milk, kopi or a scoop of ice cream.
  • Soft and chewy: Chips Ahoy Big Chewy and Chips Ahoy Chewy with Reese's. Closest to a fresh bakery cookie.
  • Cakey and marshmallowy: Moon Pie Double Decker and Twinkies. More dessert than snack, and very nostalgic for anyone who grew up in the US.
  • Candy crossovers: anything with M&M's or Reese's in it. Perfect for candy fans who want a bit of crunch.

If you are buying for a group, mix one from each row. A box with crunchy, chewy and cakey options covers almost every taste.

Keeping cookies fresh in Singapore's humidity

Our weather is not kind to cookies. Crunchy cookies soak up moisture from the air and go soft, while chewy cookies can turn stale if left open. A few easy tips:

  • Once opened, move cookies into an airtight container or a zip bag with the air pressed out.
  • Keep them in a cool cupboard away from the window and the stove. Fridges are not ideal for most cookies as they can dry out chewy ones.
  • Chocolate-coated treats like Fudge Stripes and Moon Pies can soften on hot days. Pop them in the fridge for 10 minutes before eating if the coating feels melty.
  • Gone a bit soft? A few minutes in a low oven or air fryer will crisp crunchy cookies back up.

Cookie ideas for Christmas and parties

With Christmas coming up, American cookies make easy, fun gifts and party snacks. Leave a plate of Chips Ahoy out for Santa (an American tradition kids love), tuck a pack of Keeblers into a stocking, or build a cookie and candy platter for your year-end gathering. Bitesize packs are especially handy for party bags and office pantries since everyone gets their own. Need more ideas?

A note on Halal and dietary needs

None of the cookies in this guide carry a Halal tag in our store, so please check the ingredients and labels on each product page if that matters to you. Cookies also commonly contain wheat, milk, soy and sometimes peanuts (especially the Reese's crossovers), so check allergen information before buying for others. For certified options, browse our Halal and Halal-friendly collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy American cookies in Singapore?

You can shop American cookies like Chips Ahoy, Keebler and Moon Pie online at The Candy Store with islandwide delivery, or visit our physical store at Tanglin Mall. See the full range in our Cookies collection.

What is the difference between a cookie and a biscuit?

It is mostly a language thing. In British English (and commonly in Singapore), "biscuit" means a crisp, flat bake. Americans call almost all of these "cookies", and their favourites tend to be thicker, softer and chewier, often loaded with chocolate chips or candy.

Are Chips Ahoy cookies chewy or crunchy?

Both. The original Chips Ahoy is crunchy, while the "Chewy" and "Big Chewy" versions are soft-baked. We stock crunchy minis and chewy versions, so you can try both side by side.

What is a Moon Pie?

A Moon Pie is a classic Southern US snack from Chattanooga, Tennessee: marshmallow sandwiched between round graham-style cookies and coated in a flavoured shell. The Double Decker version has an extra layer of cookie and marshmallow.
