The Dutch have a sweet tooth: enter any grocery store and you will see shelf after shelf of cookies, cakes and sweet breads. It would be hard to list a common Dutch cookie, as there are so many.
Traditionally, cookies are served at tea/coffee time, i.e. elevenish in the morning and fourish in the afternoon. It is said that the Dutch are tight-fisted and will reluctantly offer you one cookie, slamming the lid on the jar as soon as you've made your choice. I have never experienced that, and it is most certain not a custom in my household.
Cookies vary in shape, size, flavor, ingredients and price but they do have to have one quality: they have to be dunkable. One on three people dunks their cookie in their coffee or tea and it is commonly accepted.
Traditional cookies are speculaas (spice cookies) or volkoren biskwietjes (whole grain cookies). Other cookies, that are a little bit more luxurious, would be bokkepootjes (meringue with creamy filling and almonds), froufrous (vanilla wafers) or Jodenkoeken (butter cookies).
