Cookie Clicker: 12 Best Add-Ons And Mods (2024)

With over 40,000 reviews and over 95 percent of players coming away with a positive experience, it's impossible to deny that Cookie Clicker is a cult classic for idle game enthusiasts. Given the nature of the genre, it's easy to spend hundreds, if not thousands, of hours on the game.

Alas, novelty tends to be a finite and fleeting phenomenon; at some point, you'll need something new to keep your attention. If the game is starting to feel a bit dry, and your eyes are starting to glaze over from seeing your 537th golden cookie event, these awesome mods can help breathe some life into your current playthrough.

Updated January 13, 2024, by Jack Pierik: Hopefully your cookie empire has been going through limitless, time-warping, insurmountable expansion. Although, it's not a huge deal if that's not the case; time is obviously on your side, given the nature of Idle games in general. In this update, we're adding three add-ons, two of which bring assets or references from immensely popular Indie and Anime titles, as well as one that makes progression a bit easier for those of you with plenty of playtime and experience. With that said, go ahead and grab a cookie if you have some on hand, and dive into these wonderful, visual, and progress-related add-ons.

12 Cookie Valley

Look At All Those Junimos

Stardew Valley is an incredibly cozy Indie title with lots of character and love put into it by the developer, Eric Barone. If you want to remind yourself of all the fun you had in that game, why not port over some happy Junimos and iconic NPCs into Cookie Clicker?

From re-textured buildings, funny changes to achievements, upgrades, and other text, and even catastrophic events related to Joja Corporation, what more could you need from a Stardew-themed add-on? If anything, it makes starting a new playthrough actually seem like a good idea.

11 Gojo Cookie

The Crossover You Never Expected

If you're a big anime fan, it'd be almost impossible not to recognize the name Gojo or his iconic black headband and white spiked hair. If that's still not ringing a bell, this mod is based on a main character from Jujutsu Kaisen.

Admittedly, there's not much to this mod aside from making the cookie you click on look like Gojo, but for some of you, that'll be just enough fan service to get you to download it, and there's absolutely no shame in that; it's a great anime.

10 Infinity Frenzy

Massive Cookie Production

If you're a seasoned Cookie Clicker veteran with playthroughs easily lasting longer than 1,000 hours, it can be tiresome, tedious, or even unthinkable to start a new playthrough or feel compelled to continue a current one.

If you need a little nudge in the right direction, though, this mod makes normal "7x" cookies useless but, in exchange, will speed up your game by 700 percent; this might be the best trade deal in the history of trade deals. Don't spend all those cookies in one place.

Pretend You're Omniscient

Have you ever wanted to know exactly when the next on-screen event is going to appear? Are you tired of getting up to use the bathroom and coming back only to see that last golden cookie shrink and fade out of existence?

If so, workshop author mattklose has you covered with Timer Widget. If all went well with the installation, you'll find a handy widget titled "Timer" with multicolored bars at the bottom left of your screen displaying countdowns for various on-screen events.

8 Cookies Per Minute

For Long-Term Cookie Planning

If you've been playing for a while and gone through multiple ascensions, you're likely familiar with the time constraints of the game. In other words, even if you were to leave the game up every minute of every day with an auto clicker, you can only have so much growth over time. Thus, planning out future upgrades for when you get the exact amount of resources you need can be helpful.

Picture this: you can purchase the next upgrade you want in 2,220 seconds. If that time frame was difficult to imagine, workshop author claudz has you covered with Cookies Per Minute. Poof, that 2,220 seconds is now 37 minutes.

7 Clairvoyance

A Useful Tool For Cookie Wizards

Being a cookie wizard can be good fun. Equipped with your trusty grimoire, it has never been a question of if you can cast a spell, but rather if it will backfire on you. Indeed, the unfortunate truth is that no spell comes without risk.

When it comes to the spell "Force the Hand of Fate," you'll usually be granted a golden cookie. If you're unlucky, you'll end up with a wrath cookie. If you've ever wanted to know what awaits you upon clicking that cookie, boba's Clairvoyance mod will let you know through a handy, highly legible interface.

6 Perfect Cookie Selector

A Beautiful Visual Rework

From various colors and flavors of milk and cookies to nifty background patterns and designs, this game has an impressive variety of aesthetic customizations. There are, however, only so many options to choose from, and there's one customization that the base game doesn't let you change: the big cookie.

That's right, with 徐可莫 and G Lander's Perfect Cookie Selector mod, you can change the appearance of the giant cookie you've been clicking on this whole time. Keep in mind that you'll have to spend 999 heavenly chips in the ascension tree before you get access to over a dozen new cookie skins.

5 More Heavenly Upgrades

Even More End-Game Content

When you first ascend in the game, it can be a bit daunting. As you ascend more and more, you progressively unlock and reveal new upgrades to work towards. If you're yearning for even more upgrades, you can experience RubyChan42's additions to the ascendancy tree with More Heavenly Upgrades.

The mod tends to prioritize upgrades, allowing you to grow sugar lumps much faster. If you're not too interested in that, some upgrades will give you a head start in future ascensions.

4 Stock Assistant

For Savvy Market Traders

Stock trading can be a bit of a nuanced and overlooked minigame in Cookie Clicker. If you have a good grasp of it, however, and want to take your market analysis skills to the next level, you can pick up Stock Assistant by Zyaboo.

Once installed, you can find a wealth of information, including bought and resting values, observed minimum and maximum values, a "current mode" button, and a few other useful features. You know what they say, "buy low, sell high."

3 Auto Sacrifice

Garden Mutation Automation

Gardening has a surprising amount of depth in the game. Between seeds, crops, and various mutations, it can be a lot to take in. Whether you're new to gardening, want to skip the learning curve, or are all too familiar with the process and tired of micromanagement, look no further than Auto Sacrifice by Cruz.

Once you have a fully upgraded 6x6 plot, the mod will fully automate the process. This mod does everything from planting, harvesting, and removing weeds to finding mutations and eventually sacrificing the garden.

2 Cookie Monster

Useful Tools And Statistics

Unfortunately, despite the name, Cookie Monster by 해적 기반 doesn't add in a giant monster to click on or fight. What this mod does do, though, is load in a highly customizable interface with tons of toggle switches. You'll find plenty of tools, useful stats, and even a helper for golden cookies.

Ultimately, how much or how little information you want to leave in is up to you and your desired experience. Oh, and if you're worried about Steam achievements, this mod doesn't disable them.

1 Fortune Helper

Configurable Alerts And Auto Clicking

Fortune Helper by OrchidAlloy is practically the magnum opus of Cookie Clicker mods. Multifunctional and remarkably customizable, you'll be able to change in-game sounds, such as alerts for golden cookies, set up a built-in auto clicker to avoid carpal tunnel, and automate parts of the game that require active attention, like clicking on wrinklers or reindeer.

If you don't mind Steam achievements being disabled, this mod can save you a lot of time by avoiding the setup of third-party auto clickers, custom macros, or other traditional idle game tools.
