Is there any way to DISABLE/RE-ENABLE a SINGLE cookie with a SINGLE click?

I'm unable to figure out a SINGLE-CLICK method for blocking/unblocking just ONE cookie.... for example, the data-sucking obscenely intrusive google.com cookie. (something I could put on the desktop and just click once when needed) I do flush History at the end of every session and I have the Toggle Favorites buttons for disabling Java&Flash but that's not practical when I've a dozen or more windows/tabs open.

The frustrating click-heavy method Cor-el would likely suggest of drilling down thru FF's Tools> Options> Exceptions> path and then scrolling down to unblock and then re-block google.com quickly becomes tiresome during long surfing/researching sessions, and it wouldn't address google's First Party HTTPS cookie. I'm not even sure where google's First Party cookie is stored.

FWIW, I rely on useful add-ons/extensions/plug-ins and FREE software - CCLeaner, SpywareBlaster, NoScript, Ghostery, AdBlock Edge and BetterPrivacy to tailor my "personal browsing experience" on various web sites that abuse eyeballs. I typically leave all 3rd-Party cookies blocked but that google.com and their HTTPS version are inherently the most persistent/egregious, especially as the HTTPS version exploits the First Party cookie rule. Maybe I'm overlooking an obvious settings workaround but I suspect what's really needed is a dedicated PurgeBlockKillGoogle utility or a command file that modifies a Registry entry or a FF session setting with one click.

If anyone can point me to a plug-in, add-on or browser independent DOS command or utility that accomplishes this, I'll personally petition Santa to bring you 2 new front teeth for Xmas! Even a one click method of opening FF's EXCEPTIONS would eliminate about 50 clicks a day. Seriously, help would be greatly appreciated.

Been years since I've seen mention of Cookie Monster. For some reason I thought it was paid software, didn't know there was a plug in, happy to give it a try and see if it'll do the trick. Thanks!
