  The name of Buttercooky Bakery gives you a hint about their slogan: "Baked with Butter, Makes It Better."

The bakery, located minutes from Huntington homes for sale, offers so many different types of cookies that it takes four categories to list them all. Buttercooky Bakery is open daily from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m.
