      Thank you. You said what I was going to. Its a tourist trap.
      Even in the US, if youre in a decent sized city you should be able to find a real French pâtisserie owned by a French pâtissier that has pastries and macaron made in house and light years better than anything at Laduree. I know my US city has 2 really great ones, both owned and operated by French expats.
      Laduree is high end the way people think Godiva chocolate is high end. Maybe it was at one point. But nowdays its all mass produced and relies on branding and hype to give the illusion of quality.

    Stop calling them cookies! Macarons are their own thing, not a cookie

    Macarons are the most overpriced dessert ever. $3 for such a small portion. Ridiculous

      Simply because they look nice. If you make them at home and don't care or expect it to look nice, just as long as they taste good, then they're cheap/easy (watch Adam Ragusea's video on it)

    As a good Brazilian I need to say: it's not macaroon, it's bolacha. 🤣
