Chocolate wafer cookies are thin, crisp cocoa-flavored cookies with a dark, matte surface. They deliver a snappy crunch and bittersweet cocoa taste, crumble cleanly into fine crumbs for sturdy pie and cheesecake crusts, and layer neatly in icebox cakes and trifles; typically sold as plain thin wafers in sleeves or tins.

Wafer-style biscuits have European roots; chocolate versions expanded with early 20th-century cocoa processing and industrial baking, then became staples in North American dessert making, especially for crumb crusts and icebox cakes.
