This problem is part of the Google code jam 2014 Qualification Round. I have participated and was able to solve only 2 of the 4 problems. Now I would like to share the code of the two I solved. And this is the solution of Cookie Clicker Alpha. Read the problem statement here. And if you're interested here is the solution of the other problem 'Magic Trick' that I managed to solve. I have used C Sharp to solve these problems. And I believe they are self explanatory for the most part.
