About Cookie Clicker 5

Cookie Clicker is the idle game that started the genre's modern era. Click a cookie to bake cookies; spend cookies on cursors that click for you, grandmas that bake, farms, mines, factories, banks, temples and things stranger than that; buy upgrades that multiply everything; and watch the number grow from one cookie to numbers with words like 'septillion'. Julien Thiennot (Orteil) released it in 2013 as a joke, and it never stopped.

This page runs a browser build in the classic form — cookie, buildings, upgrades, golden cookies, achievements. It saves in your browser, earns while the tab is open in the background, and is the reason a generation of students learned what a quintillion is.

Cookie Clicker 5 tips

  • Always buy the item with the best cookies-per-second per cookie spent — usually the newest building, not the cheapest.
  • Never miss a golden cookie; a single frenzy can be worth minutes of production.
  • Upgrades are almost always better value than another building.
  • Ascend when the prestige gain is worth it — the heavenly chips make the next run far faster.
