Here are five unique ox-year themed cookies that are sure to be a great conversation starter this Chinese New Year.
1. A Meringue Tale
Meringue cookies that are good to look at and good to eat? Yes please!

These intricately designed cookies from A Meringue Tale are topped with melt-in-your-mouth orange flavoured meringue – a type of dessert made with whipped egg whites and sugar.
The CNY Meringue Goodies set features the lucky cat and a series of cow-themed cookies paired with an auspicious twist. These Instagrammable cookies are a visual delight and are perfect for young and old.
2. AnnaBella Pâtisserie
Specialising in handcrafted macarons and Japanese-French inspired baking, AnnaBella Pâtisserie brings an adorable twist to the new year with their Happy CNY! macaron series.

3. Always Love Bakery
If you are craving for a rich and buttery cookie this new year, Always Love Bakery has got you covered.

Handmade using quality butter, their new year series features a mix of cows, mandarin oranges and gold ingot shaped cookies in a box of 20.

4. Yours Sincerely Bakery
Known for their customised cakes including their famous drinkable bubble tea cake, local bakery Yours Sincerely Bakery is taking on an ox-year twist on a traditional snack with their Tsum Tsum inspired ox-year pineapple tarts.

Packed in a box of ten, these cute tarts are designed to resemble the popular stackable stuffed toys and are perfect for gifting this new year.
5. ByKaylary
Madeleines are a popular teatime snack that are recognisable by their iconic scallop shell shape and sponge-like texture. This new year, you can try the classic French cake with By.Kaylary’s Chinese New Year special.

The handmade madeleines come in two complimentary flavours for the festive season – pineapple and red dates longan. They also come in the shape of an ox or as gold ingots and are topped with specks of edible gold flakes for that extra huat factor.
Whether you are sharing it with friends or indulging in them alone, these auspicious snacks with a twist will surely deliver smiles all around this Chinese New Year. Happy niu year!
