Cookie Clicker is more than 10 years old, but it's still proving popular with fans of idle games. As you would expect with a game that tasks you with building an empire, you’ll need to demonstrate patience and bide your time, unless of course you use some of the cheat codes we’ve included below.

The game is straightforward - just click on a bunch of cookies to gradually build your own business. Its simplicity shouldn't be underestimated, as it's a perfectly cosy game should you need a break from a 100+ hour RPG.

The following cheats will let you do everything from maxing out your specials to baking as many cookies as you wish.

To access these cheats, you will need to open your internet browser’s developer tools, but we’ve explained how to do this below for multiple platforms including Chrome, Safari and Firefox.

A word of caution when using cheat codes though: sometimes your PC can become compromised, so it is worth exporting your game’s save file before activating them. You can do this on the game's Options screen – just copy and paste that save file code somewhere safe to reuse it later and pick up where you left off before you started cheating.

Now with that out of the way, read on to find a quick path to a cookie empire!
