For those who are very similar with the [Trader Joe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-chocolate-dipped-french-butter-cookies) snack aisle, you may know that the chain has long sold a certain branded chocolate wafer cookie. Now, Trader Joe's is looking to one-up that classic cookie by debuting the extra tasty, extra crispy Double Chocolate Wafer Cookies. Made by a supplier in Italy, the new Double Chocolate Wafer Cookies are carefully crafted cookies that contain four layers of a hazelnut-infused, chocolate cream sandwiched between several delicate and crispy cocoa wafers. As the brand boasts online, "They’re certainly simliar to those aforementioned branded chocolate wafers, but they’re even crispier and boast a richer, even more chocolatey flavor."
