Chocolate Fudge Wafer Cookies

These chocolate wafer cookies use unsweetened chocolate and are drop style. Use a small disher or ice cream scoop for consistent sized cookies.

To substitute unsweetened chocolate if you don’t have any in the house, for each ounce use 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon melted shortening or oil.
