A few days ago I started using all the sugar lumps I'd built up to level up some buildings. I spent most of them on leveling up my chancemakers, which are now level 7. I wish I had however not done so. I used the little lumps I had left to take my farms, temples and wizard towers to level 1, because I read that would unlock mini games. The farming mini game is kinda fun but it would have been far better to level up my farms to level 7 for now instead of the chancemakers. Farming begins with only 4 plots (I think, but maybe it was less) and leveling up increases that. Having more farming plots is of course beneficial. You can have more plants of course if you have more plots, but to begin with it is important to get more varied types of seeds by crossbreeding. Each type of plant has its own effects. Some increase the cookies per second. Some increase the rate at which golden cookies appear or how long they last. And there are other effects. So far I've only unlocked 7 seeds, including the very first one which you start with, so basically only 6, but there are many more. I have my farms on level 2 at the moment which gives me 6 plots. Tomorrow I should be able to level up to level 3 and I'm hoping that'll get me to 9 plots. Eventually I hope to be able to use these farm plots to get 4 golden cookies simultaneously. It should be possible somehow because there's apparently an achievement for that.
Still haven't clicked on the big cookie so far. I said initially that I wouldn't until I had at least achieved the Black Cat's Paw and I think I will at least stick to that. This mini game is keeping me occupied so the bit of a "dry spell" on the cookies front isn't bothering me.
