Licorice Cookie

"It's unwise to get in my way...Hehe!"

Licorice Cookie (Korean: 감초맛 쿠키, gam-cho-mat kuki) is an Epic Cookie released on April 15th, 2021 alongside his Pet Bat-Cat in the second half of the The Battle for Fate update. He summons Licorice Servants, commanding them to do various actions that earn him points.

He is the first Cookie to be first released in Cookie Run: Kingdom, and then released in Cookie Run OvenBreak.

Story
''With a great portion of the blackest licorice extract in his dough and a grim-looking scythe, this Cookie is up to no good. From a young age, Licorice Cookie dreamed of becoming a wizard but never received the recognition he so rightfully deserved. Eventually, he turned to the forbidden arts of Black Magic. With time, Licorice Cookie assembled a small army of Chewy Licorice Servants raised to do his bidding. On his dark path, he met Dark Enchantress Cookie. The might of the sorceress astonished Licorice Cookie, and it didn't take long before he swore his allegiance. Now, the Cookie is working flat out to earn his new mistress's favor. And it seems like Dark Enchantress Cookie is not easily pleased, as Licorice Cookie's diary filled with everyday rants and complaints could now fill up a library.''

Affection Jelly
Bitter and menacing, but there's also a soft spot.

Trivia

 * Licorice Cookie was the first Cookie made for Cookie Run: Kingdom to be ported to Cookie Run: OvenBreak.
 * Licorice Cookie's disliked item, Crimson Sugar Crystal, is a reference to his dislike of Pomegranate Cookie, as the color reminds him of her.
 * As Licorice Cookie's release in OvenBreak was shortly after April Fools Day, most official social media was jokingly "taken over" by him for the day, including changing all emotes to feature him instead of other Cookies in the official Cookie Run Discord server.
 * CROB Licorice Effect Early.png Licorice Cookie's Giant Licorice Minion has its design based loosely off of the Waffle Golem CM Mic Mac designed for the first iteration of OvenDrawing. This fact can be seen more clearly with the original rough draft of Licorice Cookie's skill. CM Mic Mac would later make a tweet first confirming the homage as legitimate and then stating the reason this was scrapped was "because we felt it didn't match the overall atmosphere/concept enough". He still wants justice for Waffle Golem, though.
