Welcome to Cookie Clicker New, your go-to fan site to play the legendary idle game created by Orteil. Click the big cookie, build your empire, and bake more cookies than you can count — all for free, right in your browser.
Yes. Cookie Clicker runs entirely in your browser at no cost — there is nothing to buy, download or install, and no account is needed. Your progress is saved automatically in your browser.

Yes — this version uses a responsive layout, so it plays in a phone or tablet browser as well as on desktop. There are also official Android and Steam releases of the game.
