Before long, your cookies become a pillar of world economics. Before long, all religions on earth are repurposed to give you cookies. The mollecular structure of the cosmos begins converting to cookies as the world bends to your will. All the while, worse and worse disasters plague the world. Eventually, the very fabric of reality is bent to your will. The closest thing to meaningfully opposing you is the Grandmapocalypse, and even that can be turned to your will. You open portals to incomprehensible dark dimensions. There is a passive mention of your forces casually chopping up a great old one for use as an ingredient. You take complete control of time, matter, antimatter, and light for the sole purpose of generating cookies. Before long, you hold control of probability itself, generating cookies from cookies in infinitely recursive loops. But that still isn't enough. After siezing control of the code of reality, you invade and conquer infinite dimensions, enslaving their residents and laws of physics. You create reality warping, jupiter-sized brains and enslave them for the sole purpose of making cookies. By this point the number of deaths caused by you are probably uncountable, and absolutely nothing can meaningfully stand in your way. You can just, at any point in this, reset reality to gain more power. In this way, you can eventually bind God and Satan themselves, fusing them into a horrific chimera for the sole purpose of making cookies. It says something that by the end game, the only building more powerful than an enslaved multiverse or a jupiter-sized reality warping brain is a simple clone of yourself.

** Clicking on Reindeer during Christmas season (either in real life or forced with the Season Switcher) provides a flat cookie bonus not unlike the Lucky outcome of a Golden Cookie, but they start out giving off much more cookies than Lucky does, enough so that you could skip certain buildings. What's more, thanks to appearing at different rates than Golden Cookies, one can perform a lite-version of the "Frenzy + Lucky" combo by clicking on a Reindeer during a Frenzy for seven times the normal outcome of the Reindeer. There's also upgrades that double the reward and appearance rate of Reindeer, which if you're lucky you can acquire early.
** A NewGamePlus upgrade allows you to save an upgrade (up to five) and start every new game with it. Most upgrades won't do very much early on, because they multiply your current cookie-generating rates. But cursors have a whole series of upgrades that give flat bonuses; the strongest one, "Octillion Fingers," gives each cursor 5 million cookies per second for every other building you own. Pre-ascension, this is balanced, because it's very expensive to unlock. But starting the game with it gives you an absolutely ludicrous boost--just 10 cursors and 10 grandmas, which would normally generate 11 cookies per second, will instead crank out '''500 million''' per second… and the pace only accelerates as you use your massive amounts of cookies to buy more cursors, buildings, and upgrades. This one upgrade lets you blast through the early phases of the game so quickly, you'll probably have prisms before the first golden cookie appears.
*** Sadly, this has since been nerfed in the latest releases. Now, the previously game-breaking ''Octillion Fingers'' will only give a 20x bonus to the effects of Thousand Fingers -- still useful, but hardly overwhelming. There are now far superior options.
