Cookie Roster Overview
CookieRun Classic features one of the largest rosters in the endless-runner genre. Cookies are organized by grade (C, B, A, S, SS, L) and by unlock episode. Each Cookie has a unique ability activated during runs — from magnetic jelly collection to obstacle destruction to bonus-time manipulation.
The global release preserves the Korea roster while adding new Cookies like Choco Pistachio Cookie and Dandelion Fairy Cookie from 2024–2026 updates. Browse character-specific builds from our Character Guides hub.
Grade Breakdown
C-Grade: Starter and common Cookies. Low ability impact but cheap to upgrade. GingerBrave, Strawberry Cookie, and Cream Cookie fill this tier.
B-Grade: Early-game workhorses. Muscle Cookie, Princess Cookie, and Adventurer Cookie offer meaningful ability upgrades over C-grade.
A-Grade: Mid-game core. Mint Choco, Soda, and Buttercream Choco anchor farming and hybrid strategies.
S-Grade and SS-Grade: End-game powerhouses. Angel, Ninja, Alchemist, Moon Rabbit, Lotus Root Phantom, and SS characters like Princess Bari and Admiral Gimbap define competitive meta.
L-Grade (Legend): Episode-exclusive Cookies with game-changing abilities and massive upgrade costs. Blooming Dancheong Cookie from Plum Blossom Palace is the headline Legend addition.
Unlock Methods
