WHAT ARE SUGAR LUMPS IN COOKIE CLICKER?
Sugar Lumps are the secondary in-game currency in Cookie Clicker. Along with Cookies, they are necessary for progression. Still, Lumps are way more complex than Cookies.
The Sugar Lump menu is just below the Stats button. Here you can manage them, control growth, and harvest once needed. After harvesting, you can use Lumps for different purposes, which will be discussed later in this guide.
HOW TO GET SUGAR LUMPS
Getting Sugar Lumps can be both very hard and very straightforward. The first Lump is unlocked as you reach the first billion cookies.While it sounds easy, getting the first billion on your balance is challenging. You must spend more than two hours in the game without wasting a single cookie to get the first billion with an income of 100,000 per second.
Once you pass the billion-cookie mark, Sugar Lumps will start growing automatically. Just check the table below and learn about the maturing periods for this currency:
- Maturing - 20 Hours
- Ripening - 23 Hours
- Falling - 24 Hours
The time for ripening and falling can be sped up by various modifiers. Check the list below for the shortest time you can reach with all the modifiers:
- Maturing - 17 hours 53 minutes and 56 seconds
- Ripening - 18 hours 57 minutes and 26 seconds
- Falling - 19 hours 53 minutes and 56 seconds
And if you want to know about the modifiers that would speed up Sugar Lumps growth, check the table below. Here you can find all the possible updates.

Alternatively, Sugar Lump can be obtained by clicking on the Golden Cookie with the special Sweet effect. Still, it has only a 1/5000 chance of occurring. Don’t focus your energy on getting this currency in this way.
The last way to get Sugar Lumps is to harvest Juicy Queenbeet - a unique, rare garden plant that can give you 10 Lumps at once. Still, it will cost you all your unlocked garden plants and require much time and effort.
HOW TO USE SUGAR LUMPS IN COOKIE CLICKER
The primary purpose of this currency is to level up different buildings. A single building upgrade brings a permanent 1% boost in cookie production. Also, every upgrade makes the price for levelling up more expensive by one. You must spend a lot of time in the game to get a valuable boost using Lumps.
All the building levels purchased with them can't be removed. So, if you decide to spend Sugar Lumps, carefully consider your decision.
