Clear any blocks or trapped candy under the Cookie first...Its hard to clear if the ingredient is in the way
Know where you need to bring them down to... its easier to move them over in the middle of the board
Fish will go to the square directly next to the cookie in the direction it is going.
Working at the bottom of the board to move down the Cookies
Vertically Striped Candies in the same column as the cookie will drop it to the bottom (if blocks are not cleared they will get in the way)
When a cookie is ready to drop using a vertical striped candy can drop it to the bottom if you are only removing candy in that column (it could drop anywhere candy is removed
Special Candies are always helpful
Combine Special Candies.. favs Color Bomb + Striped and Wrapped + Striped
Use Special Candies to hit the areas you can't reach or make a match in
Focus on one area so Cookies drop in the same area
Using a Color Bomb also makes it easier to make the other Special Candies since it reduces one of the colors on the board
Cookies can fall diagonally if the square above the square diagonal to them is blocked from above or is emptied at the same time as the diagonal square and the square above it is blocked
