Cookie Clicker Mini

What is Cookie Clicker Mini?

Cookie Clicker Mini is a free browser-based idle clicker game in the tradition of Orteil's classic Cookie Clicker (2013). You start with one giant cookie — every click earns one cookie. Spend your cookies on automated helpers: an Auto Cursor produces 1 cookie per second, a Grandma bakes 5 per second, a Cookie Farm grows 20, and a Cookie Factory churns out 100. Costs double with every purchase, creating a classic exponential progression curve. Your game auto-saves to your browser's localStorage every few seconds, so you can close the tab and come back later. There are five achievement badges to unlock at 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000 and 100,000 lifetime cookies. The whole game runs entirely client-side: no account, no ads in the gameplay, no data sent anywhere.

Key Features
