I grew up in Texas where Mexican vanilla had such a legendary reputation people going to Mexico were always asked to bring some back with them. How did you decide on using Madagascar vanilla for your cookies and what has it been like to obtain vanilla from that country?

Because it is cheaper to buy vanilla from Madagascar.

A cookie made from ingredients sourced only because they were cheapest probably wouldn't be very good.

And that is exactly why OP’s business failed. They lost 2 million dollars marketing a value product to a luxury consumer.
Marketing 101: set clear expectations.

If you think cookies don't have luxury customers, you must not have been to a Crumbl yet.

Madagascar vanilla is the most expensive by far.

Its also better tbh. Mexican vanilla is over-rated

I researched vanilla and in the end it came down to the fact that I am willing to pay the price. I'm always researching to find the best and test it. (it can make a difference)
