Monsieur Hermé, Je t'aime encore.

My faith was restored. I guess it was either to blame Monsieur Hermé or to blame my lack of skills. So I chose to blame him. But now with these Korova cookies, I am in awe of Monsieur Hermé again. These are truly delicious. They are to die for. The chocolate taste is so intense and they are so buttery that one bite is equivalent to 3 hours on the threadmill. And they are so simple to make. And I am going to town with these cookies for the next few months which means I am going to try out drastic experiments with them by adding all kinds of unimaginable things to them.
