Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and dry them with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a mandoline or a vegetable peeler, slice the cucumbers lengthwise into thin, even ribbons. Lay the ribbons flat on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped dill, chopped chives, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly blended.
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each cucumber ribbon, making sure not to overfill.
Carefully roll each cucumber ribbon from one end to the other to form a roulade. Secure each roulade with a toothpick, if necessary.
Repeat with the remaining cucumber ribbons and cream cheese mixture.
Arrange the cucumber roulades on a serving platter, garnish with additional fresh dill or chives if desired, and serve immediately.
