There are good cookies, like the chocolate chip, but then there are great cookies, like the macaron. Then, in a league of their own, there are the world's most expensive macarons. Capitalizing on the sweet, Instagram-worthy trend is the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort in Florida, which has teamed up with crystal-maker Lalique to create the world's priciest macaron, which goes for $9,703.
That price tag isn't random, though; it's a nod to the famous resort's address, 9703 Collins Avenue. Packaged inside—what else—a Lalique crystal box, the macarons are made of white tea and edible 24 karat gold flakes, according to Money. If that's not enough to satisfy you, know that macaron-purchasing customers also get an overnight stay in the resort's brand-new Sky Palace Suites and are served the delectable cookies as part of a classic afternoon tea.
Should you want to go grander, you can order the macarons as part of a private dinner party in a Sky Palace Suite with a menu tailored to the occasion. But that's not all: The St. Regis is selling new custom co*cktails in Lalique crystal glasses for $200 each, which you can have engraved with your name or the memorable date of your luxurious Lalique experience.
