Fingerhut Bakery in North Judson, Indiana: Butter Cookies
Fingerhut Bakery in downtown North Judson, Indiana has my most favorite bakery item: Butter Cookies! That yummy bakery smell just hits you when you open the door. I do believe it made me slightly giddy.

There was a very steady stream of folks passing in and out of this small Indiana town bakery. They bought an assortment of items which can only mean one thing: It’s all good!
The bakery itself is small, with a really neat old wood display case along the back wall, and cases filled with cookies, cakes, pastries, breads, and bagels.
They’ve been in business for over sixty years. I think it’s pretty obvious that they will be around for many, many more!

Apparently Fingerhut Bakery specializes in something called “Chocolate Delight Cake” but I didn’t notice that until after we had left. Don’t worry–we didn’t leave empty-handed!
I bought a ginormous Cream Puff (for me) and a bunny train cookie (for the kid).
With all those Butter Cookies staring me in the face, I had to buy a ½ pound of the Rainbow Sprinkled ones. I did, however, share with the kid absolutely and completely against my will.
Hubs got a pumpkin roll (for hubby, who doesn‘t want to share with anyone) and even so? Our total at this cute Indiana bakery was $12 and change. Now that is money I consider well spent!

If you are in the North Judson area, stop by for something sweet. Fingerhut Bakery is right downtown on the corner. You can’t miss it (I couldn’t even miss it and I have a knack for getting lost and turned around).
Fingerhut Bakery has the largest assortment I have ever seen in a small town…so far.

The Chocolate Delight cake should definitely be a top priority to try at Fingerhut Bakery. It is one of the best cakes I have ever had. Fingerhut Bakery is still the best bakery I have been to.
I do believe that this is the bakery where we used to drive to from Wheatfield for the PLUMB CAKE, pastery. This was about 1959 or so and it was delicious.

I love their cream filled horns! They are huge!!! I remember as a kid I could only eat half of it then give it to my mom lol. I have wonderful memories of me and my cousin, Billy running to the bakery from my house where we would get a free cookie. Each time I visit family around there I make a stop to the bakery if only for the wonderful memories.
They are my most favorite thing. I admit I got one, licked the middle, then realized I should have taken a photo. Oops! Free cookies? Now, that’s just cool.
Oh it is soooo worth the drive!!! We stop each time we go to Bailey’s (sometimes it is the reason we go to Bailey’s) and if we leave early enough . . . we stop both ways!! It’s the bakery my mom always went to when she was a little kid growing up in Tefft, Indiana.
LOL! I like how you think.
So many good things to choose from–if I lived closer, well, it would probably be a bad thing!
