Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus about 1/2 cup as needed
- 4 1/2 teaspoons (2 packets) instant dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (for the dough), room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
Filling Ingredients
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup cookie butter, melted
Frosting Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, room temperature
- 1/4 cup cookie butter, melted (for drizzle)
- 1/2 cup chopped cookies
Instructions
- Prepare the filling mixture. In a bowl, combine 1 cup packed dark brown sugar, 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt. Set this mixture aside for later use as the cinnamon sugar filling.
- Mix dry ingredients for the dough. In a large bowl, blend 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour with 4 1/2 teaspoons instant dry yeast and 1 teaspoon fine salt thoroughly to prepare the base for the dough.
- Warm wet ingredients and combine with dry mix. Heat 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until warm but not boiling. Stir this warm mixture into the dry ingredients to hydrate the yeast and sugar, creating the dough base.
- Add eggs and knead the dough. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition to integrate fully. Knead the dough either by hand or with a mixer, gradually adding extra flour a tablespoon at a time until the dough feels tacky but not sticky. Allow the dough to rest for 10 to 20 minutes to relax the gluten.
- Roll out the dough. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 14 by 18 inches and about 1/2 centimeter thick, preparing it for filling.
- Add filling layers. Spread 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch edge bare. Sprinkle the prepared cinnamon sugar filling evenly on top, then drizzle 1/3 cup melted cookie butter over the filling to add richness and flavor.
- Shape the rolls. Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log shape. Seal the edge with a little water to keep it from unrolling. Use unflavored dental floss to cut the rolled dough into 12 equal slices for uniform cinnamon rolls.
- Proof the rolls. Place the cut rolls in a greased 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Proof the rolls for about 30 minutes at room temperature if baking immediately, or cover and refrigerate overnight to ferment and develop flavor.
- Bake the rolls. Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 26 to 30 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the frosting and finish. Whip together 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt. Gradually mix in 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream until smooth and creamy. After the rolls cool for about 10 minutes, spread the frosting evenly over the warm rolls. Drizzle 1/4 cup melted cookie butter on top and sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped cookies for extra texture and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure the milk mixture is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- Use unflavored dental floss to cut the rolls for a cleaner slice without squishing the dough.
- If refrigerated overnight, allow extra time for the rolls to come to room temperature and rise before baking.
- Adjust the flour quantity as needed based on dough stickiness to achieve the right texture.
- You can substitute vanilla bean paste with vanilla extract for the frosting.
- To make dough handling easier, explore no-knead cinnamon rolls methods as an alternative.
