Cookie Clicker

Play Cookie Clicker online for free in your browser. No download, no login - just click the big cookie and watch your bakery grow.

Cookie Clicker is the original idle clicker by Orteil & Opti (DashNet). It began as a free web game and now also exists on PC and consoles, but the web version is still the easiest way to start.

The goal is simple: bake cookies, buy buildings that bake more cookies automatically, and unlock upgrades that multiply your Cookies per Second (CpS).

Over time you'll discover special events, silly lore, and endless achievements to chase.

Progress saves to your device automatically in most versions, so you can idle and come back later.

On the official releases you can also back up your save. Availability and features can vary slightly by platform.

 

What is Cookie Clicker

Cookie Clicker is a 2013 incremental (idle) game where you produce cookies by clicking and by automating production.

You start with Cursors and Grandmas, then expand into factories, banks, portals, and even cosmic machines.

There is no final ending - just bigger numbers and new goals.

   

Who created Cookie Clicker (Orteil & Opti, DashNet)

The game was created by Julien "Orteil" Thiennot and developed by DashNet with collaborator Opti.

The Steam edition credits developer Orteil/DashNet and shows the modern, maintained release.

 

Why players love it (idle clicker core, upgrades, silly lore, endless goals)

Players enjoy the easy start - click to bake - plus the deep upgrade trees that make CpS explode.

Humor and lore (Grandmas, seasons, dragons) keep things playful, and achievements give long-term goals that never really run out.

 

Cookie Clicker Gameplay

You click to earn cookies and spend them on buildings and upgrades that raise CpS.

Special "shimmers" appear randomly for big bursts. Achievements increase Milk, which boosts CpS even more when you own Kitten upgrades.

 

The core loop - clicking, CpS, buildings, and upgrades

Clicking gives instant cookies; buildings produce automatically; upgrades multiply both.

As your CpS rises, you unlock newer buildings and higher-tier upgrades that scale your bakery to absurd numbers.

 

Golden Cookies, Wrath Cookies, and special effects

Golden Cookies pop in random spots and grant short, powerful effects like production frenzies or huge cookie payouts.

During the Grandmapocalypse, some spawns become Wrath Cookies, which can include risky effects - but they also enable rare, massive boosts like Elder Frenzy.

 

Achievements, Milk, and Kitten upgrades

Every achievement adds Milk. Kitten upgrades convert that Milk into a big CpS multiplier, and each new Kitten stacks with the others.

This is why chasing achievements is a core part of late-game growth.

 

Grandmas, the Grandmapocalypse, and Wrinklers

Buying Grandma research can trigger the Grandmapocalypse - game events that swap in Wrath Cookies and attract Wrinklers.

Wrinklers reduce visible CpS while attached, but they store cookies and pay back extra when popped, turning "scary" into profit.

 

Buildings, Upgrades & Synergies

Buildings are the backbone of CpS. You start with Cursors and Grandmas, then add Farms, Mines, Factories, Banks, Temples, and many late-game structures such as Antimatter Condensers, Prism, Chancemaker, Fractal Engine, JavaScript Console, Idleverse, and Cortex Baker.

 

From Cursors and Grandmas to late-game buildings

Each building type has a base cost and CpS, scaling as you buy more.

Late-game buildings are expensive but raise production dramatically when combined with high-tier upgrades.

 

Synergy upgrades and tiered boosts

Most buildings have multiple "tier" upgrades that multiply their output.

There are also Grandma-themed synergies that link other buildings back to Grandmas for extra bonuses, rewarding balanced ownership across your lineup.

 

Milk multipliers and the Kitten series

Milk comes from achievements; Kittens turn Milk into multiplicative CpS boosts.

As your Milk rises, each new Kitten upgrade makes every other Kitten stronger, so the series scales hard in mid-to-late game.

 

Minigames & Sugar Lumps

Sugar Lumps are slow-growing treats that appear after you've been baking for a while (about 24 hours).

You harvest them and spend them to level up buildings or unlock minigames.

Each building level adds a small, permanent CpS boost, and level 1 on specific buildings unlocks powerful side-games.

 

Sugar Lumps and building levels

Spend a lump to raise a building to level 1 and unlock its minigame: Farm -> Garden, Temple -> Pantheon, Wizard Tower -> Grimoire, Bank -> Stock Market.

Every additional level gives that building +1% CpS, so sprinkling levels across your lineup adds up.

 

Garden basics (soils, ticks, crop mutations)

The Garden runs on "ticks" (timed steps). Soil changes tick speed and effects.

Fertilizer speeds growth (3-minute ticks), Clay slows growth but increases plant power (15-minute ticks), and Wood Chips/Pebbles help with mutations and seed collection.

Plant crops, wait for ticks, and use neighbors to mutate new seeds (like clovers for more Golden Cookies).

 

Pantheon (gods and slots)

Pantheon lives in the Temple. You place spirits into three slots (Diamond strongest, Ruby middle, Jade weakest).

Effects include faster Golden Cookies, stronger clicks, and more. Swapping spirits uses a limited "worship swap" that refills over time.

 

Grimoire (spells and combos)

Grimoire belongs to Wizard Towers. The key spell is Force the Hand of Fate (FtHoF), which summons a Golden Cookie (or a Wrath Cookie on backfire).

Players time FtHoF during Frenzy or other buffs to stack huge combos; advanced routes even double-cast by briefly selling towers.

 

Stock Market (buy low, sell high)

Level a Bank to unlock trading. Each stock has a "resting value"; profit comes from buying well below that and selling near or above it.

It's optional, but learning the pattern can fund late-game upgrades.

 

Ascension & Prestige

Ascending resets your run but grants Prestige levels and Heavenly Chips.

Prestige gives a permanent +1% CpS per level (once unlocked each run), and Chips buy Heavenly Upgrades that stick across ascensions—like permaslots, season switcher, kitten boosts, and more.

 

When to ascend and why it matters

Don't rush the first reset. Waiting until you can afford early Heavenly Upgrades (like Permanent Upgrade Slot 1, basic luck/cookie packs, dragon access) makes the next run much faster.

Many guides suggest holding off until you've banked a meaningful chunk of Chips instead of ascending for tiny gains.

 

Prestige levels, Heavenly Chips, and permanent upgrades

Prestige and Chips rise with lifetime cookies, following a cubic curve (1e12, 8e12, 27e12... for levels 1, 2, 3).

Chips buy permanent upgrades on the ascension tree; the Prestige CpS bonus must be re-unlocked each run via a Heavenly upgrade.

 

Permaslot strategy for key buildings

Permanent Upgrade Slots (there are five total) let you "carry" chosen normal upgrades into every new run.

Common picks include your best Kitten, a strong click upgrade, and early GC/luck boosters to speed the opening. Adjust as you progress.

 

How to Play Cookie Clicker

 

Early game — clicker starts, first upgrades, unlock flow

Click fast to grab early Cursors and Grandmas, then buy cheap production upgrades.

Grab basic Golden Cookie upgrades as soon as possible; they make Frenzies show up more and last longer. Aim to unlock the Dragon and your first permaslot after a solid first ascension.

 

Mid game — production scaling and synergy planning

Balance buildings and upgrades. Chase achievements for Milk, then buy Kitten upgrades to multiply CpS.

Start leveling buildings with Sugar Lumps to unlock minigames; learn Garden soils and Pantheon spirits that complement your style.

 

Late game — minigames, combos, and long-term goals

Use Grimoire to spawn key Golden Cookies during Frenzy/Click Frenzy/Dragonflight windows, stack buffs, and burst your bank.

Dip into the Stock Market when prices are low, and rotate Garden crops for GC rate, Milk boosts, or bank injections.

 

Endgame loop — efficiency, buffs, and idle play

Refine spirit slots, auras, and soil to set up big combo windows. Keep permaslots filled with upgrades that speed early ramp each run.

Between bursts, idle comfortably - Prestige levels, Milk, and minigame mastery keep pushing CpS higher over time.

Tips & Tricks for Cookie Clicker

Golden Cookie timing and combo basics

Golden Cookies give temporary boosts like Frenzy or Click Frenzy.

Try to stack a big click boost during a Frenzy for huge gains.

Buy Lucky Day, Serendipity, and Get Lucky early to increase spawn rate and duration.

Use the Grimoire spell Force the Hand of Fate to chase a Click Frenzy during a Frenzy.

 

Wrinkler management during the Grandmapocalypse

Wrinklers lower CpS while feeding but pay back extra when popped.

Let a ring of wrinklers feed, then pop them when you need a big refill.

A shiny wrinkler returns about 3.3x what it ate, so save it for special moments.

Wrath cookies appear more often as the Grandmapocalypse progresses.

 

Garden starter crops and safe seed unlocks

Start with Baker's Wheat to unlock early seeds.

Use simple patterns and Shift + Ctrl + click to harvest only mature plants.

Unlocking and growing more seeds takes time, so do not worry if mutations are slow.

Practice gently in the Garden until you learn the timing.

 

Stock Market safety tips and patience

Unlock the Stock Market by leveling Banks once.

Buy shares well below their resting value and sell when they rise above it.

Avoid risky loans unless you know the timers and penalties.

It is normal to hold positions for hours or days; avoid panic selling small dips.

 

Season order ideas for faster unlocks

With the Season Switcher, many players grab easy boosts first.

Popular paths are Christmas for Santa and reindeer, Valentine’s for heart cookies, then Easter and Halloween for drops.

Business Day adds special contracts and can raise golden cookie frequency with certain upgrades.

Pick seasons based on your goals and how long you can play.

Mods, Dev Tools & Safe Play

"Open Sesame" dev tools - what the debug menu is

It's meant for testing and will flag your run as cheated; use it only to learn or experiment.

 

Bakery name cheat keyword concepts (overview only)

Some versions let you enable the debug panel by putting a special keyword in your bakery name (or via a console command).

We won't list the exact text here; if you turn it on, expect "cheated" flags and disabled bragging rights.

Popular QoL mods exist, and some balance-changing mods can disable achievements.

Always read descriptions before enabling.

 

Auto clickers and why we recommend fair play

Third-party auto clickers or hack tools can break saves, reduce fun, or violate platform rules.

We recommend fair play: smarter strategies beat raw clicking, and your achievements stay legit.

 

Play Online & Unblocked

School or work networks - availability may vary

Use the browser version for quick play or install only from official stores listed above.

Seasons & Limited Events

Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's, Easter, Business Day

Christmas adds two big features: reindeer that pop across the screen and Santa you can upgrade.

Reindeer drops give a burst of cookies and can unlock special Christmas biscuits.

Santa upgrades add small boosts as you level him up.

Halloween changes golden cookies into spooky wrath cookies and adds seven Halloween biscuits you get by popping wrinklers.

You first need to start the Grandmapocalypse to make wrinklers appear.

Valentine's brings heart cookies that boost your production.

Easter adds collectible eggs with lots of small bonuses.

Business Day is a short, silly season with minor effects compared to the others.

Seasonal cookies, drops, and upgrade unlocks

After your first Ascension, buying the Season Switcher lets you trigger any season on demand.

Follow-up heavenly upgrades (Starsnow, Starspawn, Starterror, Starlove) make seasonal drops more common and more powerful.

Seasonal biscuits you're hunting include Christmas flavored cookies, Halloween biscuits, Valentine hearts, and Easter eggs.

They're random drops, so patience and a few reindeer or wrinklers go a long way.

Reindeer, Santa, and seasonal switches

Reindeer spawn during Christmas and give a quick cookie payout plus a chance at Christmas biscuits when clicked.

Buying the first Christmas upgrade unlocks Santa; leveling Santa unlocks extra seasonal boosts.

Use the Season Switcher to hop between seasons as you finish each drop list.

 

Dragon, Auras & Combos

Unlocking and evolving Krumblor the Cookie Dragon

Unlock Krumblor by purchasing the heavenly upgrade "How to bake your dragon," then buying "A crumbly egg" once you've baked enough cookies.

Train the dragon by sacrificing cookies and buildings to unlock auras.

You can switch auras later, but it costs your highest-tier building.

Useful auras (Dragonflight, Dragon Harvest, etc.)

Radiant Appetite is a straight boost to all cookies and is great for steady progress.

Breath of Milk boosts the power of Kitten upgrades and scales with Milk, so it shines as your achievements grow.

For active play, Dragonflight supercharges clicking bursts, and Reaper of Fields enables Dragon Harvest, a strong temporary CpS boost that stacks in combos.

Other handy picks include Earth Shatterer for sell-and-rebuy tactics and Epoch Manipulator to extend buff durations when you start planning big stacks.

Basic combo planning with spells and golden cookies

The classic combo is Frenzy + Click Frenzy.

You wait for a Frenzy from a golden cookie, then force or fish for a Click Frenzy inside the timer, often by casting Force the Hand of Fate from the Grimoire.

If Dragonflight or Dragon Harvest appears, stack it too for huge spikes.

Details vary, but this is the backbone of late-game mega-combos.

Note: Force the Hand of Fate can't directly spawn Dragonflight, so players time FTHOF around natural golden cookies to overlap effects.

 

Golden Cookies & Special Cookies

Frenzy, Click Frenzy, Lucky, and other effects

Golden cookies can give Frenzy for a big CpS boost and Click Frenzy for huge click power for a short time.

Lucky and Chain add cookie rain or chains, and Building Specials buff specific buildings.

The strongest gains come from stacking effects, like running a Click Frenzy inside a Frenzy or pairing with Dragonflight or Dragon Harvest when you can.

Wrath cookies and risk vs reward

During the Grandmapocalypse, or with certain gods slotted, wrath cookies appear.

They can be risky and sometimes reduce output, but they can also trigger rare bonuses like Elder Frenzy, which is extremely strong.

Decide based on your stage and goals.

 

Achievements & Shadow Achievements

Milestones that raise Milk and boost output

Achievements raise your Milk percentage.

More Milk makes Kitten upgrades stronger, which increases total production.

Collecting easy achievements early is worth it because they scale your whole bakery.

Tricky or secret achievements to watch for

Some achievements are hidden or require odd tasks, including shadow achievements.

Shadow achievements don't grant Milk, so treat them as optional challenges and bragging rights.

100% completion mindset and time expectations

Cookie Clicker is designed for the long haul.

Full completion involves seasons, minigames, and long-term grinds.

Progression speeds up after ascensions and combo play, but 100% still takes a lot of real-world time.

Pace yourself and enjoy the events.

Cookie Clicker Garden (Minigame)

Soils, growth ticks, and mutation chance

The Garden unlocks when you spend 1 Sugar Lump to upgrade Farms to level 1.

Then you plant seeds on a grid and wait for "ticks" to grow and mutate new plants.

Tick speed depends on the soil you choose: faster soils make plants grow and wither quicker, while slower soils give you longer lifespans and calmer growth.

Empty tiles next to mature plants can spawn new species through mutations; specific parent combos control what appears.

Beginner plants and useful crossbreeds

Start with Baker's Wheat.

Two Baker's Wheat can mutate into Thumbcorn, which boosts click power.

Pairing Baker's Wheat with Thumbcorn can produce Cronerice, which helps Grandmas.

Later mixes can yield Gildmillet, which buffs Golden Cookies.

These early seeds are easy, useful, and teach how adjacency affects mutations.

Lumps and garden-related achievements

Sugar Lumps power up your Farms for a bigger plot and can instantly advance a growth tick.

The Garden also has several achievements for planting, harvesting, and discovering species that add nice Milk boosts.

Ascending will not erase unlocked seeds, only the current plants.

 

Pantheon, Grimoire & Stock Market

Pantheon god slots and common use cases

The Pantheon lets you slot three spirits for passive bonuses.

Popular setups:

• Idle focus: Mokalsium (Milk bonus) plus Holobore or Jeremy for steady CpS.
• Active combo runs: Godzamok in Diamond to sell mid-tier buildings for a huge click boost, with Muridal for click strength and Mokalsium for extra Milk scaling.

Swapping gods right before a combo is common at higher levels.

Grimoire spells and safe casting

The Grimoire gives spells like Force the Hand of Fate to spawn a Golden Cookie effect and Haggler's Charm for cheaper buildings.

Safe habits: cast at high magic to reduce backfires, avoid low-magic casts that can punish CpS, and coordinate Force the Hand of Fate with running effects for big combo bursts.

Stock Market trends, patience, and profits

The Stock Market unlocks with Bank level 1.

Prices cycle through modes such as stable, rises, falls, and chaotic, so profits come from buying low and selling near the resting value.

It is slower money than Garden or Grimoire, so many players dip in mainly for achievements and occasional loan-powered combos.

Supreme Intellect aura can push prices very low, which are good entry points if you're patient.

More achievements = more milk = bigger Kitten bonuses.

How do Golden Cookies, Frenzy, and Click Frenzy work

Golden Cookies appear randomly and grant effects like Frenzy for a big CpS boost or Click Frenzy for huge click power for a few seconds.

Stacking effects and timing them is a core strategy.

What are Wrinklers and why do players keep them

During the Grandmapocalypse, Wrinklers attach to the cookie and "steal" CpS, but popping them later pays back extra cookies, so many players let a ring of them grow for profit.

How do I start the Grandmapocalypse and is it worth it

Buy the grandma-related upgrades One Mind, Communal Brainsweep, and Elder Pact.

It is worth it for Wrinklers and unique content; you can pause it with Elder Pledge or Covenant.

When should I ascend in Cookie Clicker

Ascend once you can buy several strong heavenly upgrades or when doubling your prestige is quick to do again.

Earlier community guides suggest not rushing your first ascend.

What are Prestige and Heavenly Chips and how do they help

Prestige gives a permanent CpS bonus and Heavenly Chips buy special upgrades you keep each run, making every new ascend stronger.

What are Sugar Lumps and how do I use them

Sugar Lumps grow over time and are harvested to level buildings, unlock minigames like the Garden, and buy certain upgrades.

How do I unlock the Garden, Pantheon, Grimoire, and Stock Market

Use Sugar Lumps to level Farms for the Garden, Temples for the Pantheon, Wizard Towers for the Grimoire, and Banks for the Stock Market to level 1 to unlock their minigames.

What is the best order for seasons in Cookie Clicker

A popular approach is to cycle seasons for the drops you still need, using the Season Switcher between them.

Exact order depends on what you still need.

How do I get Golden Cookies more often

Buy Lucky Day, Serendipity, and Heavenly Luck, use seasonal star upgrades, and consider the Arcane Aura for longer Golden Cookie duration.

Keep the Golden Switch off if you want spawns.

How do I trigger combos with spells and Dragon auras

Use the Grimoire spell Force the Hand of Fate to summon a cookie during active buffs like Frenzy, and aim for Dragonflight or Dragon Harvest auras for big chains.

There is a bakery-name trick and other methods to access dev tools; it is mainly for testing and can disable achievements on some platforms.

Enabling debug or dev tools is easy but can block achievements, for example on Steam; keep your main save clean if you care about achievements.

There is not a legit in-game way; infinite cookies require cheats or save editors and will spoil the fun.

Is using an auto clicker safe or allowed

The community treats auto-clickers as a personal choice in casual play; competitive communities may disallow them.

It will not trigger the "cheated cookies taste awful" message by itself.

How do I get sugar lumps faster

Higher CpS and certain upgrades help a bit, but lumps mainly grow with time.

Be patient and harvest when ripe for the best odds.

How do I get Wrinklers to spawn and what is a Shiny Wrinkler

Start or continue the Grandmapocalypse to spawn Wrinklers.

Very rarely, a golden "Shiny Wrinkler" appears and pays back more cookies when popped.

How do I get Heavenly Chips and which upgrades first

Ascend after baking enough cookies to earn heavenly chips, then buy core upgrades like permanent upgrade slots, extra cursors, and golden-cookie boosts.

How do I get more Milk and which achievements matter most

Milk rises with total achievements, so chase easy early achievements and seasonal or minigame ones; kittens make milk more valuable.

What is Dragon Harvest vs Dragonflight

Dragon Harvest boosts CpS for a short time; Dragonflight massively boosts click power for a few seconds.

Both can appear from Golden or Wrath cookies with the right auras.

How do I unlock and evolve the Cookie Dragon (Krumblor)

Buy "How to bake your dragon" as a heavenly upgrade, then purchase the egg and feed or sacrifice to evolve Krumblor through stages and unlock auras.

Using certain names can toggle debug features, known as Open Sesame.

It still exists, but use it on a backup save if you care about achievements.

Can I transfer saves between web, Steam, and mobile

You can export or import save strings between platforms that support it, such as web and Steam.

Is Cookie Clicker a horror game

No. It is a silly idle game, though the Grandmapocalypse adds spooky vibes; there is an option to disable scary stuff.

Who is the bad guy in Cookie Clicker (lore question)

There is not a single villain; the tone is goofy.

During the Grandmapocalypse, the grandmatriarchs and eldritch themes act like the "antagonists."

No. Letting it idle is normal.

The game is built for long sessions and background progress, especially on Steam or mobile.

 

Conclusion

Cookie Clicker is a big, cozy sandbox of upgrades, seasons, minigames, and goofy lore.

Learn the basics, then experiment with Golden Cookie combos, Dragon auras, and achievements to grow fast.
