Cookie Jam: The Beginner’s Guide

Cookie Jam is a match-3 puzzle game where players assist Chef Panda in collecting ingredients and completing orders. By strategically matching cookies of the same color, players progress through levels while overcoming unique challenges and obstacles.

How to Play Cookie Jam

• Drag adjacent pieces to line up three or more cookies of the same color to make a match.
• Matched cookies disappear, and new cookies fall into place.
• Matching four or five cookies in a row creates powerful bonus treats with special abilities.
• Each level has a unique objective, such as:
  • Matching a specific number of colored cookies.
  • Eliminating gingerbread men before they reach the top.
  • Breaking obstacles like waffles, chocolate, and icing.
• If you fail to complete the objective within the move limit, you lose a life.
• Players start with five lives, with one life regenerating every 30 minutes.
• If all lives are depleted, players can wait, ask Facebook friends for lives, or purchase lives using coins.
