Dough
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 packet (2¼ tsp) instant yeast
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling
- ½ cup Biscoff cookie butter (melted slightly for spreading)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
Frosting
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 Tbsp Biscoff cookie butter
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, sugar, and instant yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the egg, vanilla extract, and salt. Gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Knead the dough either by hand or with a mixer fitted with a dough hook for 5–8 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, slightly melted Biscoff cookie butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix until it forms a smooth and spreadable filling.
- Roll Out Dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and roll it out on a floured surface into a 12×16-inch rectangle.
- Spread Filling: Evenly spread the Biscoff cookie butter filling over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Shape Rolls: Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log to form the cinnamon rolls.
- Slice and Arrange: Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them neatly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30–40 minutes until they are puffy and nearly doubled in size.
- Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
- Bake Rolls: Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20–25 minutes until they develop a golden top and remain soft in the center.
- Make Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, butter, Biscoff cookie butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the frosting is fluffy and smooth.
- Frost Rolls: Spread the frosting generously over the warm rolls so it slightly melts into the swirls, enhancing flavor and texture.
- Optional Garnish: Drizzle extra melted Biscoff cookie butter on top and crumble some Biscoff cookies for a delightful crunchy garnish.
Notes
- Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
- For an extra gooey texture, serve the rolls warm immediately after frosting.
- These can be stored covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated up to 5 days; reheat before serving.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and cream cheese with plant-based alternatives.
