Chocolate wafer pumpkin cookies that are crispy and rich with chocolate to satisfy your sweet tooth.

There's something delicious about chocolate wafer cookies. I love how crispy they are and one of my favorite things to do with them is to dip them into my coffee on a Saturday morning. This time I decided to add some frosting to my wafer cookies to add some Halloween flair to them which makes me very happy.

Chocolate wafer cookies are very easy to make. You can easily slice and bake these cookies and it's the best way to make them. So let's stop chit chatting and get to it!

Of course these are make-ahead cookies! Those are my favorite recipes! Make them then night before and then slice and bake the next morning. You can store them in an airtight container for up to two weeks! Trust me, these cookies will not last that long!
