About the Ingredients
All-Purpose Flour
All-purpose flour provides the structure needed for soft, fluffy cinnamon rolls while keeping the dough easy to work with.
Biscoff Cookie Butter
Biscoff cookie butter creates the signature filling and adds a rich caramelized cookie flavor to the rolls.
Active Dry Yeast
Yeast helps the dough rise and gives the cinnamon rolls their light, airy texture.
Brown Sugar
Brown sugar adds sweetness and a deeper caramel-like flavor to the cinnamon filling.
Cinnamon
Ground cinnamon provides the classic warm spice that pairs beautifully with Biscoff cookie butter.
Tips & Tricks
Use Warm Milk
The milk should be warm rather than hot so the yeast can activate properly without being damaged.
Knead Until Smooth
Kneading the dough for 8-10 minutes develops the gluten needed for soft and elastic rolls.
Roll the Dough Evenly
Try to maintain an even thickness when rolling the dough so the finished rolls bake consistently.
Pro Tips
- Warm the Biscoff cookie butter slightly so it spreads easily without tearing the dough.
- Leave a small border around the dough when spreading the filling to make rolling easier.
- Let the shaped rolls rise before baking for a lighter and fluffier texture.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Dough
Combine warm milk and yeast in a large bowl and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add melted butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Mix until a soft dough forms, then gradually add the remaining flour.
Knead and Rise
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling
Warm the Biscoff cookie butter slightly until spreadable. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Fill the Dough
Punch down the risen dough and roll it into a 16x12-inch rectangle. Spread the cookie butter evenly over the dough, leaving a small border, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
Shape the Rolls
Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log and pinch the seam to seal. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them cut-side up in the prepared baking pan. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
Bake the Rolls
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the rolls for 22-25 minutes, until golden brown.
Prepare the Glaze
Whisk powdered sugar, vanilla, and 3-4 tablespoons of milk together until smooth. Drizzle the warm glaze over the freshly baked rolls before serving.
Delicious Variations
Extra Biscoff Rolls
Drizzle additional warmed Biscoff cookie butter over the finished rolls for an even stronger cookie butter flavor.
Crunchy Biscoff Topping
Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies over the glaze for added crunch and extra cookie flavor.
Cream Cheese Glaze
Replace the simple vanilla glaze with a cream cheese frosting for a richer cinnamon roll finish.
