Introduction

These Biscoff Cookie Butter Cinnamon Rolls are a delightful twist on a classic favorite. Soft, fluffy rolls infused with cinnamon and filled with rich, creamy Biscoff cookie butter create a sweet treat perfect for breakfast or dessert. The luscious glaze on top adds just the right amount of sweetness to finish them off.

Three cinnamon rolls sit on a white plate with close-up focus on the front roll. The front cinnamon roll has two layers visible: the soft, brown swirled dough with a slightly crispy texture on the outside, and a thick layer of creamy white icing dripping down the sides. On top, small crumbly brown sugar pieces add texture. The two cinnamon rolls in the background are slightly blurred but show the same layers of dough, icing, and crumb topping. The setting is a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast (Check expiration date for freshness)

1 cup Warm Milk (110°F / 43°C, dairy or non-dairy)

1/4 cup Granulated Sugar (Can substitute with brown sugar)

1/4 cup Unsalted Butter (Melted, can use plant-based butter for vegan)

1 teaspoon Salt (Essential for flavor)

1 Large Egg (Can substitute with flaxseed or chia seed egg)

4 cups All-Purpose Flour (Can use whole wheat flour, adjust liquid)

1 cup Biscoff Cookie Butter (Ensure it’s vegan-friendly if needed)

1 cup Powdered Sugar (Adjust for desired sweetness)

2 tablespoons Milk (Dairy or non-dairy based on preference)

1 tablespoon Ground Cinnamon (for filling)

1/4 cup Granulated Sugar (for filling)

Instructions

Step 1: Activate Yeast by combining the warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly and frothy.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, mix the yeast mixture with melted butter, salt, egg, and flour until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3: Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 5: Roll the risen dough into a rectangle. Evenly spread the Biscoff cookie butter, then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

Step 6: Carefully roll the dough into a tight log and slice into 1-2 inch thick pieces. Arrange the rolls in a baking dish.

Step 7: Cover the rolls and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes.

Step 8: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Step 9: Mix powdered sugar and milk to make the glaze. Once the rolls are slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.

Tips & Variations

Use whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor but reduce the liquid slightly to keep dough consistency.

Substitute the egg with a flax or chia egg to make this recipe vegan-friendly.

For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or raisins inside the filling before rolling.

If you prefer a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar until you reach the desired consistency.

FAQs

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough the night before and let it rise slowly in the refrigerator. Bring it back to room temperature before shaping and baking.

Is Biscoff cookie butter necessary?

Biscoff cookie butter gives these rolls their unique caramelized flavor, but you can substitute with peanut butter, Nutella, or any spread you prefer for a different twist.
