About Cookie Clicker

Cookie Clicker is the game that defined idle games. It begins with one cookie and a click. Cookies buy a cursor that clicks for you, then grandmas, farms, mines and factories, each producing more cookies per second than the last. Upgrades multiply everything, golden cookies appear for bonuses, and eventually you are baking numbers with names you have never heard of.

Under the silly surface is a deep game about compounding growth, when to reset for prestige bonuses, and a surprising amount of hidden content. This is Orteil's browser original.

How to Play Cookie Clicker

1. Click the big cookie to earn cookies.
2. Buy buildings from the right-hand list; each adds cookies per second.
3. Buy upgrades as they unlock to multiply production.
4. Click golden cookies when they appear for large bonuses.

Controls

• Mouse: click the cookie and the store.
• Touch: tap.
• The game keeps running while the tab is open.

Tips and Tricks

• Early on, buildings beat clicking. Buy whatever gives the most cookies per second per cookie spent.
• Never ignore a golden cookie; a frenzy can be worth minutes of production.
• Grandma upgrades are cheap and scale everything.
• When growth slows to a crawl, look at ascension; the prestige bonus makes the next run faster.
