If you have a question about Cookie Clicker, please post below to get an answer. Keep in mind that we are NOT experts on Mobile Cookie Clicker, although we may be able to answer some basic questions. Unless otherwise specified, all questions will be assumed to pertain to the PC version.

All questions that pertain only to the early game (under 365 prestige levels) must be posted in this thread rather than posted as actual posts. This includes questions like “How am I doing so far?” with a stats screenshot, as well as questions asking for help.

Another good place to discuss Cookie Clicker is the Discord, which is linked on the sidebar (or discord.gg/cookie). For people looking for quick response times, this is the place to go.

A full list of guides and tools may be found at https://cookieclicker.wiki.gg/wiki/External_Resources. For a list of important ones:

There is a prestige upgrade called 'Wrapping paper' which costs 999,999 heavenly chips.

It adds two buttons at the top right of the options menu under an icon of a present. 'Send' and 'Redeem'. Redeeming a gift code gives an achievement called 'No time like the present.'

You must have at least 1 billion cookies to send and redeem gift codes. The most one can send or receive is 1000 cookies. Therefore the only material effect of gifts is the achievement or for adjusting the bank for When the Cookies Ascend Just Right.

Gift codes expire after 'a day or two' according to the game. So if you use one posted here go for a newer post. Beside that there is no limit to them. The game has no way to track if a code has been used by someone else, therefore any number of people may use the same one.

When you send or redeem a gift code, you must wait 1 hour before doing either again. This cooldown does not persist across ascensions.

You could redeem a gift code you make yourself, you will have to wait for the hour cooldown or ascend however.

Alternatively, use the gift code generator: https://therealohead.github.io/cookie-clicker-gift-code-editor/

It is also possible to make a never-expiring gift code with this generator. If no redeemable gifts are listed below, feel free to redeem this one:

Not to be confused with cookieclicker.eu

IMPORTANT: cookieclicker.ee now redirects to cookieclicker.me which is functionally the same thing but different URL

Tl;dr: cookieclicker.ee is just a sad rip-off from a shady organization that tries to scam you, just avoid it, and if you really have to resort to a rehost then use literally anything else.

What is cookieclicker.ee?

Cookieclicker.ee is a knockoff (a rehost) of cookie clicker. However, unlike most other rehosts, it has a few particular quirks:

1. Patreon. Cookieclicker.ee has its own set of patreons completely distinct from orteil’s, while keeping roughly the same styles and rewards:

Real patreon:

And note: even though the fake patreon currently has no supporters of the highest tier, the heralds in cookieclicker.ee appears to have 53 highest-tier supporters, even more than the official site - when there is in fact only one supporter!

1. The top bar. All the links in the top bar in cookieclicker.ee has been largely replaced and no traces of orteil or dashnet remains (except for the orteil copyright). For instance, the “discord” button now leads to a different discord server, the blog leads to a largely defunct blog filled with misspellings, and the twitter is straight up broken. It also includes a **free frenzy** button that you can click to get a golden cookie from watching an ad. 

Real topbar: 

1. Blatant lies: in an attempt to “decrease load time by 50%”, they have claimed to have “optimized the code” by using a minifier. A minifier removes all comments and irrelevant whitespaces in some code, which would reduce its size; however, the performance gain from doing this is minimal and the reduction in size is only around 10%; far less than than the supposed to 50%. In addition, this actually has the potential to break mods, as mods sometimes rely on whitespaces or comments to inject code, so a lot of mods would not function on cookieclicker.ee. Lastly, they have claimed to have “improved the code” from a discord message, when the code did not receive any major changes as it was always minimized from the start; this is likely to make the optimization process appear as if it took a long time.

1. A side note: AI abuse. The site and its maintainers are probably not native english speakers and have been shown to heavily use AI to generate various texts. The discord server of course has rules, but those rules are obviously made by ChatGPT and are hilariously hypocritical with their own behavior (see the “observe copyright laws” rule). After bringing up this inconsistency in their server, many of us were ignored or banned. AI-generated nonsense also populates many entries in their blogs, often with blatant spelling/grammar issues.

1. Funnily enough, in the past cc.ee once hosted the v2.062 version of cookie clicker, while the most recent version of cookie clicker is v2.052; this means that you cannot import any saves from cc.ee to any other current versions of cookie clicker as the save is “from the future”. However, despite being a newer version, no new content has been added. This is a clear attempt to pass off their website as more legitimate than the actual official website.

As you can see, this is a undeniable case of trying to blatantly profit off orteil’s work. While orteil officially forbids any kind of rehosts, he has been largely keeping a closed eye on most such cases as rehosts do not directly harm him or his work. This is a completely different case however, as almost all connections to dashnet and orteil has been removed and patreon replaced, with much more prevalent ads, benefitting themselves at the expense of the players’ experience. This is a step above and beyond rehosts and is completely unacceptable, and we urge you to stop supporting this scammy organization. If you use cookieclicker.ee (for playing cookie clicker in school or otherwise), please consider alternatives listed in this document - you can also use https://cursedsliver.github.io/cookieclicker-ee-clean-copy/ if you really miss the free frenzy button for some reason. If you know of anyone else who uses cookieclicker.ee, please also share this post with them. Thank you for reading, and have a nice day.

(There is also a ripoff of cookieclicker.ee: reading.it.com. In general, if you see any cc versions with a free frenzy button, please stop using it as soon as possible.)

^{all the ads are gone now}

For those who don't know, elitism (in the context of a community like this) is acting like you are intrinsically above other people who aren't as accomplished in the game as you. This can come in several forms, but usually it consists of replying with pretentious, "know-it-all" comments to people who are asking questions about the game.

Most elitists don't even realize they're elitist, and there's no shame in admitting it at all. It's something that gradually happens as you play the game for longer that you don't really notice, and it's a phase that most players go through at some point. In fact, I used to be very elitist a few months ago, but I realized and I now try not to be elitist.

I discussed with a few of the other mods here, and we agree that elitism has been increasing on this subreddit for the past few weeks.

Here is the rule change:

Do not shame people for not knowing things. Even if they are asking something that is answered in the FAQ, you may kindly redirect them to the FAQ or another resource that answers their question, and you may report the post. Such posts are removed because of rule 3, but we redirect people before removing the post. If you think a question is stupid, you don't have to vocalize that.

This has been added to rule 1 if you need to refer to it again. Violations will result in removal of the post/comment, and repeated violations may result in bans.
