How to Play

Start your cookie journey by clicking the large cookie in the center of the screen to earn your first cookies. Once you accumulate 15 cookies, purchase your first Cursor from the store on the right side, which automatically clicks the cookie for you. Continue clicking manually while saving up for your first Grandma at 100 cookies, then progress to Farms, Mines, and Factories as your cookie income grows. Focus on buying the most cost-efficient buildings early on, then invest in upgrades that boost your overall production. The key to success lies in finding the perfect balance between active clicking and passive income generation.

Strategy Guide

Master the early game by prioritizing Cursors and Grandmas for steady passive income before investing in expensive buildings. Intermediate players should focus on achieving your first prestige reset around 1 trillion total cookies baked, earning Heavenly Chips that provide permanent percentage bonuses. Advanced strategy involves optimizing golden cookie clicking for massive temporary bonuses and calculating the most efficient purchase order using online calculators. Never ignore upgrades - they often provide better value than new buildings. The secret to astronomical cookie counts lies in patience, strategic prestige timing, and maximizing synergies between different building types and their associated upgrades.

Controls & Interface

Primary gameplay uses left mouse click on the central cookie for manual production. Store purchases require clicking desired buildings or upgrades in the right panel. Keyboard shortcuts include Ctrl+Click to buy 10 items and Shift+Click to buy 100 items simultaneously. Access game options, statistics, and achievements through the top menu tabs.
