October is National Cookie Month! As if Halloween didn't make October sweet enough, National Cookie Month makes sure that our sweet tooths are taken care of for 31 days straight! If you're ready to spend every night sharing a plate of cookies with your family or friends, our REALTORS® suggest that you stop by one of these Tuscaloosa bakeries for some of the city's best cookies.

1. Heritage House Coffee & Tea – 700 Towncenter Boulevard, Tuscaloosa, AL 35406
   As the first coffee house in Tuscaloosa, Heritage House Coffee & Tea know a thing or two about providing delicious pastries to sugar lovers. Their daily-made treats include a variety of cookies like iced shortbread cookies, white chocolate and chocolate chip cookies, and Monster cookies. We recommend adding a gourmet coffee to your order like their Midnight Magic with dark chocolate, Scottish Highlander with butterscotch, or the Ja-makin-me-crazy with coconut bits.
   
   
2. Mary's Cakes & Pastries – 412B 22nd Ave., Northport, AL 35476
   If you're in town touring Northport homes for sale, you can fuel up for your search at Mary's Cakes & Pastries. All of their cookies are made in-house in small batches to ensure each one is perfect. While their selection can change daily, you should usually be able to grab their shortbreads and regular glazed cookies without issue. Of course, if you're gearing up for a game, there's no better way to say Roll Tide this season than to order up a Bama Dozen which are 17 cookies officially licensed by the University of Alabama.
