Cookie Clicker - lisapurnellsw - 08-22-2025 Cookie Clicker is a deceptively simple yet highly addictive idle game. While the basic premise is just to click a cookie, a few key strategies can help you progress from a casual baker to a grand cookie master. Here are three tips to help you get ahead: 1. Don't Neglect Golden Cookies Golden cookies are a temporary but powerful boost to your cookie production. They appear periodically and give you a random effect when you click them, such as: Frenzy: Multiplies your cookies per second (CpS) by a large factor for a limited time. Lucky: Gives you a significant lump sum of cookies. Click Frenzy: Multiplies the cookies you get per click by a massive amount for a short period. Clicking these cookies as soon as they appear is a fundamental part of efficient play, especially in the early and mid-game. Later on, experienced players will even try to combine a "Frenzy" with a "Click Frenzy" for an astronomical boost in production. 2. Prioritize Upgrades Over New Buildings (Early On) When you're first starting, it can be tempting to just buy a new building as soon as you have enough cookies. However, it's often more efficient to purchase upgrades first. Upgrades provide a percentage increase to your CpS, which can provide a bigger boost than a single new building. A good rule of thumb is to buy upgrades as they become available and before you move on to the next, more expensive building. 3. Plan Your Ascensions Ascending is a key mechanic in Cookie Clicker that allows you to reset your game in exchange for "Heavenly Chips" and "Prestige" levels. These chips can be used to purchase permanent, powerful upgrades that will make your next playthrough much faster and more efficient. The general advice is to wait until you have a decent number of Heavenly Chips (often around 250-300) before you perform your first ascension. After that, you can ascend more frequently to capitalize on the increasing power of the prestige system. Don't be afraid to reset your progress—it's how the game is designed to be played, and it's the fastest way to achieve truly astronomical cookie counts.
