Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup warm milk (lukewarm, about 110°F / 43°C)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large egg
Filling Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup Biscoff cookie butter
- Optional: chopped pecans, walnuts, mini chocolate chips, or dried fruit for variations
Glaze Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Additional
- Pinch of sugar (for activating yeast)
- Butter or non-stick spray (for greasing baking dish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk until just lukewarm, then dissolve the yeast and a pinch of sugar in it. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Knead gently until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Make the Filling: While the dough rises, mix softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and Biscoff cookie butter together until combined into a creamy spread. This filling adds signature sweetness and depth to the rolls.
- Roll and Fill the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Evenly spread the cookie butter filling across the dough, ensuring full coverage. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log, then cut into equal-sized rolls.
- Second Rise: Place the cinnamon rolls into a greased baking dish spaced evenly to allow expansion. Cover with a clean cloth and let them rise for another 30 to 45 minutes until puffy.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through but still soft.
- Prepare the Glaze and Serve: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle over warm rolls and serve immediately for the best gooey experience.
Notes
- Use warm but not hot milk and butter to activate yeast without killing it.
- Knead dough well to develop gluten for a soft, elastic texture.
- Do not skip the second rise to ensure light and fluffy rolls.
- Use room temperature butter in the filling for easy spreading.
- Cover dough while rising to prevent drying out.
- Test oven temperature with a thermometer for even baking.
