Heartwarming / Cookie Run

"I'm glad those two worked it out."

There are moments of darkness, hilarity, or sadness, but what's important to the franchise are the beautiful and uplifting moments in any and all of the Cookie Run games.

---

• The adorable and lovable Cream Puff Cookie is essentially a Crowning Cookie Of Heartwarming in more ways than one! To be more specific:
  • Just the fact that Cream Puff Cookie is finally achieving her dream of becoming a great wizard in Cookie Run: Kingdom, albeit via a Magical Girl transformation form, as shown in this video, and as an Innocent Prodigy student who hasn't lost her adorably clumsy and childlike nature that we all know and love, makes this a really well-deserved Earn Your Happy Ending outcome on her part, especially if you consider that she had been trying to become one ever since she first debuted in 2015 within Cookie Run LINE.
  • Beforehand, there is also Cream Puff Cookie's Magic School Adventures◊, A Day in the Limelight episode centered around her in Cookie Run: Puzzle World, where she went out◊ of her way to◊ reunite with her missing Owlcorn pet.◊ Not only does she give you a letter expressing her gratitude towards you if you help her out with that◊, but it goes to show how much Cream Puff Cookie and Owlcorn really care about each other.
  • Speaking of which, in Cookie Run: Kingdom, notice that the Cream Puff Attic decor has Owlcorn hanging on a stand perch and if Cream Puff Cookie is placed in the attic, an animation plays where Cream Puff Cookie casts a magic spell in an adorably clumsy way as usual and Owlcorn helps her out.◊ Even if the other cookies have forgotten about their pets in Cookie Run: Kingdom, since none of them have been found so far, Cream Puff Cookie hasn't forgotten about her pet companion and close friend.
  • In Cream Puff Cookie's intro video in Cookie Run: Puzzle World, she is shown to be understandably upset over failing a magic spell constantly, but words of encouragement from both Whipped Cream Cookie and Yoga Cookie give her the confidence to try again and succeed this time around.
  • After the struggles and trials she had to go through in the wraparound story of the Light The Beacons event in Cookie Run: Kingdom, Cream Puff Cookie ultimately proved herself worthy of becoming a wizard after courageously saving the Kingdom from the evil Red Velvet Dragon with the help of her newfound friends Latte Cookie and Almond Cookie that she made bonds with and lighting the beacons with the flame of trust to revive the long-forgotten League, as evident when Milk Cookie and Purple Yam Cookie show up to lend a helping hand in protecting the Kingdom. Earn Your Happy Ending indeed!
  • Her happy sprite◊ in the lobby is too adorable for words, especially with her warm smile and endearing blushing, which melts your heart and really makes you want to give her a warm hug.
• In a case of Love Redeems, there is the ending of the wraparound story of the Cyborg Menace event in Cookie Run: Ovenbreak, where Cyborg Cookie comes to their senses and reconciles with Aloe Cookie after the former was defeated and the latter comes to their aid to repair them. Aloe Cookie's relief is the trope image.
• In this 2021 video that revolves around a selection of Fanart that is based on Valentine's Day, there is this piece by Pansear_Lady of Twitter where Werewolf Cookie is given a group hug by a bunch of random cookies that we all know and love◊. This may seem humorous to some, but when you consider that Werewolf Cookie suffered from a Friendless Background and was ostracized by his own people as proven in his backstory, it makes it all the more sweeter.
  • Speaking of fanart, there is also this video involving Apple Cookie, Ion Cookie Robot, GingerBrave, and Adventurer Cookie which consists of fanmade coloring book-esque variations of the four of them together. It is as adorable as you can imagine.
• On top of being Crowning Moments Of Awesome in the wraparound story of the The Truth Of The City, the young Cookiemals, despite the hardships they had to go through in the process, successfully went out of their way to help their guardian Wind Archer Cookie break free of his Brainwashed and Crazy Superpowered Evil Side by enlisting the help of the Millennial Tree guardian Churro Cookie who took care of business, and helped said guardian in saving the Churro Tribe, so both cookies, who are undeniably appreciative for their efforts, essentially owe everything to these three for their selflessness.
• Every interaction between Popping Candy Cookie and Shining Glitter Cookie is this as shown in the wraparound story of the Dazzing New Year Party; despite being an incredibly famous idol, Shining Glitter Cookie is nothing but sweet and kind towards Popping Candy Cookie, giving him words of encouragement and helping him out by stating that she has her own bouts of nervousness from time to time. In return, as he presents her a copy of her pre-debut album in the last part of the story, Popping Candy Cookie clearly tells Shining Glitter Cookie that she is his favorite star and that it is thanks to her that he had been inspired to become an idol in the first place, prompting the two to perform a joint concert together.
  • When Popping Candy Cookie returns after his pep talk with Shining Glitter Cookie, his fellow CakePOP band members are just relieved to find him safe and sound, exclaiming that they're family with one another.
• It's rare, but whenever Onion Cookie smiles, it is both adorable and heartwarming!◊ This is most especially evident at the end of the wraparound story of the Spooky Spider Mansion where Blackberry Cookie and Adventure Cookie take Onion Cookie under their wings when they determine that she has no where to go.
• Generally speaking, the Ship Tease between Mint Choco Cookie and Cocoa Cookie is nothing short of wonderful, as these can attest to:
  • Cocoa Cookie's reveal video for Kingdom has her merrily enjoying her cocoa until she gets an invitation from Mint Choco Cookie to see him at a concert and she immediately decides to head out, get into her Enchanted Waltz costume and prepare a present. Cocoa loves Mint Choco Cookie just as much as her favorite drink.
  • There's also a webtoon to a song called I Miss You, which discusses how Cocoa Cookie became Mint Choco Cookie's biggest fan, helping him become the famous musician he is today. He goes as far as to hand Cocoa Cookie a ticket to his concert in hopes that he can see her again.
  • Not only that, but the wraparound story of Mint Choco Cookie's Winter Concert in Cookie Run: Kingdom involves Cocoa Cookie being invited to see Mint Choco Cookie perform on-stage. Unfortunately, she misses out on his first concert performance because she had to help Chestnut Cookie and Cream Cookie with their problems along the way. The heartwarming part comes when Mint Choco Cookie sees Cocoa Cookie distraught over missing out on his performance and cheers her up by playing a beautiful violin song for her and, afterwards, when Mint Choco Cookie is doing yet another concert performance, who should be present to enjoy said performance but Cocoa Cookie herself!
  • After Mint Choco Cookie won the contest to see who would get a Magic Candy, he thanks the audience for coming to his performance. The last scene cuts to Cocoa Cookie being the only cookie left in the auditorium, always glad to listen to him perform.
• Captain Ice Cookie is usually a stoic figure, but her heart melts on seeing a lost child. Throughout the Tower of Frozen Waves and the Sugarteara Wraparound story, her main concern is getting Peppermint Cookie — a stowaway because they assumed her Icepiercer ship was a whale — back to safety.
• At the end of the ''Super CookieBots'' story, after the misunderstanding is cleared up, Bell Pepper Cookie becomes friends with Aloe and Cyborg Cookie, and after Aloe encourages the boy to make friends, Bell Pepper musters up the courage to overcome his shyness and reluctance to make friends with others and tell Apple Cookie, Pancake Cookie, Pudding Cookie, Chestnut Cookie, and Firecracker Cookie in the playground about his escapades, which ends with them riding off on the PepperBot.
• Most of the Bake My Day shorts are known to be quite adorable:
  • Mango Cookie and Ananas Dragon Cookie: Mango Cookie declares how much he loves his home and hopes that Ananas Dragon Cookie is doing okay. Ananas Dragon Cookie is on their throne with Pineapplemur on their lap and has a calm smile on their face.
  • Peach Cookie and Plum Cookie: Peach Cookie decides to start taking her training seriously with her partner Plum Cookie while Master Prune and Panda Dumpling observe. And to end this already cute video on an even cuter note, on General Jujube Cookie's table is a photo of a baby Peach Cookie.
  • Blackberry Cookie and Truffle Cookie: Truffle Cookie arrives to have tea with Blackberry Cookie.
  • Croissant Cookie and Timekeeper Cookie: Croissant buys sandwiches from Sandwich Cookie and when she takes a break, one of them is missing. She laughs it off as it cuts to Timekeeper eating said sandwich and enjoying it, as evident by a heart being shown next to their head. And since Timekeeper ''is the future version of'' Croissant, it shows that she (or they) still has a closeness to Sandwich Cookie.
  • Cookiemals and Churro Cookie: The Cookiemals spend time with their purified guardian Wind Archer Cookie, who really appreciates their company, before they explore the temple where they mistakingly assumed they were chosen ones. And after a day of playing, Churro Cookie tucks them in with a warm smile.
  • Starfruit Cookie and Pomegranate Cookie: Starfruit Cookie sleeps while remembering the events that made her the Oracle which is adorable...and then she remembers Pomegranate Cookie...
• It’s fairly small, but in Aloe Cookie’s trial, there’s a bunch of Jellies and Coins arranged to look like Cyborg Cookie and Aloe Cookie...and the poses make it look like they’re going in for a hug.
• This video of GingerBrave celebrating his 12th birthday with Birthday Cake Cookie, Cherry Cookie, Chili Pepper Cookie, Strawberry Cookie, and Cinnamon Cookie is really adorable and sweet. Not only that but, at the end of the video, GingerBrave and his friends read this big letter which is filled with loads and loads of messages from so many numerous fans of Cookie Run that proclaim their love and support for our brave little gingerbread hero.
• During the Butter Painting Affair event, Walnut Cookie shows doubt on whether or not she can determine the culprit. Then Almond Cookie, who showed doubts earlier, states, like a proud father, that he knows that she'll do good and has full faith in her solving the case, which is 100% accurate as it's revealed via Cookie Run Kingdom's Twitter that Almond Cookie is her father.
  • The ending of the event reveals that Butter Pretzel Cookie deliberately destroyed her latest art piece because she felt like she couldn't live up to the expectations of being a skilled artist. Surprisingly, it takes Mustard Cookie and Gumball Cookie, of all Cookies, to help explain that art is about emotions and expressing yourself and that there's no fun in making art if you're so boxed in. The two help her make a brand new painting and Butter Pretzel Cookie is smiling and laughing for the first time. After the story is explained, she is forgiven by everyone, who all reassure her that her health and emotions come first. Her new painting is a simplistic portrait of her smiling, which makes Truffle Cookie state that the word "comfort" comes to mind.
• During the trailer for Moon Rabbit Cookie's appearance in Cookie Run: Kingdom, Moon Rabbit Cookie gets wise on Licorice Cookie and Poison Mushroom Cookie mischievously trying to steal her rice cakes, but after she transforms into the giant Rice Cake Bunny and chases after them, what does she do? She forgives the two for their attempted theft without even laying a finger on them and lets them eat some of her rice cakes with her as a sign of no hard feelings.
• Throughout the wraparound story of the Labyrinth Of Remembrance event, GingerBrave's friendships had been put to the test by what has been seen in their past memories within the eponymous labyrinth, which only made matters worse thanks to Amber Sugar Cookie's doubts towards GingerBrave, when the search for the happiest memories of GingerBrave and his friends were in vain so far, and from Sugar Glass Cookie's sadness and loneliness. But in the end, GingerBrave helps Sugar Glass Cookie with her troubles and woes, Amber Sugar Cookie and Sugar Glass Cookie reconcile, GingerBrave reaffirms his companionship with his friends, and Amber Sugar Cookie and Sugar Glass Cookie join up with him as newfound friends in their travels for The City Of Wizards.
• The Spooky Spider Mansion wraparound story involves many cookies afraid of Truffle Cookie, particularly when she warns them not to go into the basement. When they finally get there, it's revealed she was making a banquet for them, so happy to have guests after so long. To everyone's credit, they truly are grateful for Truffle Cookie's generosity.
• The Miracle of Winter Gifts storyline is of Tiramisu's first time delivering presents with Eggnog Cookie. Throughout the course of the night, he sees how Eggnog makes it his mission to truly give happiness and presents to the cookies, not caring about being timely or the first one to finish. Tiramisu sees this first hand when he has to deliver the last present and watches first hand how Eggnog gives a young Cookie getting a gift — as he was afraid that he wouldn't get one cause he got in a fight with his friends — and stating that the child was a good boy because he realized his mistake and was ready to make amends. By midnight, Eggnog still has one more gift to give out...and it's for Tiramisu — a keychain for his key. This signals the start of a true friendship between the Cookies.
• Dr. Bone's story has them asking other Cookies to help Pizza Cookie relax. While many Cookies helping out isn't new, it's Goblin Cookie that's most surprising. They steal her van without asking for anything in return all so Pizza Cookie can get a check-up!
• The end of The Lost Holiday, many of the thieving cookies decide to help deliver gifts. This includes the likes of Rebel Cookie, Crowberry Cookie, Chili Pepper and even Goblin Cookie. Yes, some of the greediest cookies out there have standards and are willing to use their sneaky ways to give joy to children.
• After spending more than a year traversing the Dragon's Valley, Peperocino finally reunites with the cookie who fell in The Longing of Flames storyline. It's none other than his son, Habanero Cookie.
• The Season 8 update gives Mocha Ray and Lobster Cookie a happy ending. They both reconcile and forgive one another after what happened in Sugarteara and decide to rebulid it into a new home, also meaning that Dark Enchantress Cookie has one less pawn of hers.
• Langue du Chat Cookie's story in Face the Trial! is about wanting to make his parents proud at being a lawyer. His parents are nothing but supportive of him, giving him his Case File pet as good luck and to help him start his career, and even encourage him to become a righteous lawyer instead of a famous one. It's this love for his parents that prevents him from taking the easy way out through bribing the judge. The splash art of his Super Epic costume has him enjoying vacation with is parents.
