Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the egg, vanilla extract, and salt. Gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the Biscoff cookie butter filling over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  8. Shape Rolls: Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log to form the cinnamon rolls.
  9. Slice and Arrange: Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them neatly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  10. Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30–40 minutes until they are puffy and nearly doubled in size.
  11. Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
  12. Bake Rolls: Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20–25 minutes until they develop a golden top and remain soft in the center.
  13. 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.
  14. Frost Rolls: Spread the frosting generously over the warm rolls so it slightly melts into the swirls, enhancing flavor and texture.
  15. 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.
