The Cookie

The Cookie (unofficial name) is the giant cookie that is found in the middle of the Cookie Production screen. Most players refer to it as "The Cookie", as it is the most natural name to call it. This cookie is the first cookie the player sees in the game when they open the app (other than the loading screen). It appears to be a chocolate chip cookie.

In order to bake Cookies, the player must click The Cookie (obviously). If one clicks the Cookie fast enough, the Cookies baked per click will be multiplied by up to 5 times the original amount. This is caused by milk. Click here to learn more about the Upgrades (including Milk Upgrades).

If one clicks The Cookie fast enough, it will start to shake. If the player stops clicking, it will keep shaking for a couple of seconds before the shaking stops. Also, it starts to grow red. At a certain point, it will break, disallowing any cookies to be baked from clicking. The player must wait 10 seconds before clicking The Cookie again. If one clicks it during this period of time, the timer will start over, and the person must wait 10 more seconds. During this period of time, one can still catch Golden Cookies and Cookie Snitches without any time punishment. Notice that The Cookie will slowly get lighter when the player does not click for a couple of seconds. (Or when they exit the game.)
