Perfectly tart for the hot summer days ahead, Trader Joe's new Lemon Flavored Wafer Cookies are a light and delicately sweet new treat. The new cookies are crafted by the same Italian supplier who makes Trader Joe's Double [Chocolate Wafer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-chocolate-wafer-cookies) Cookies, using the same thin and crisp cross-hatched, wheat-flour wafer cookies. But instead of chocolate, the new version features a light layer of lemon-flavored creme that is bursting with sweet and citrus flavors. While delicious on their own, Trader Joe's suggests pairing the new Lemon Flavored Wafer Cookies with a [cool glass of iced matcha](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-matcha-lemonade) or enjoying them in a tub of rich yogurt for a flavorful contrast.
