Dutch New Years Cookies

In the East of the Netherlands we have a special tradition. We bake thin cookies which can be eaten in 2 ways. 1: You roll them up when they are still hot and you fill them with whipped cream when they have cooled down 2: You don’t roll them up and you can dip them into the whipped cream. The first one represents the new year because it’s rolled up and you can’t see the inside. It represents not knowing what will happen. The second one represents the last year because it’s open. You can see everything just like how you know what happened the last year. (They are called Kniepertjes in Dutch)
