Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 packet instant yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Filling
- 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
Glaze
- 1/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter, warmed slightly
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, white sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even yeast distribution.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in the warm milk, melted butter, and egg until a dough begins to form. Avoid using hot milk as it can kill the yeast; warm milk is ideal for activation.
- Knead the dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and soft. This develops the gluten necessary for a fluffy texture.
- First rise: Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for about 1 hour in a warm spot. The dough should double in size, indicating the yeast is active and the dough is ready for shaping.
- Make the filling: In a separate bowl, mix together the Biscoff cookie butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined and creamy. Set aside.
- Shape the rolls: Roll the risen dough out into a large rectangular shape on a floured surface. Evenly spread the Biscoff filling mixture over the surface of the dough, making sure to cover it completely for full flavor in every bite.
- Roll and cut: Carefully roll the dough tightly starting from one end to form a log. Using dental floss (to avoid squishing), cut the roll into 12 equal slices.
- Second rise: Arrange the cinnamon rolls cut side up in a greased baking pan. Cover them and let rise again for 30 minutes. This second rise yields extra soft and fluffy rolls.
- Bake the rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes or until they turn a lovely golden brown color and are cooked through.
- Prepare the glaze: While the rolls are baking, warm the Biscoff cookie butter slightly to soften it. In a small bowl, whisk together the warmed cookie butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and pourable.
- Glaze and serve: Once baked, drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls. Serve immediately for the best taste experience. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat for 10 seconds before serving.
Notes
- Do not use hot milk for the dough as it kills the yeast; warm milk activates it properly.
- Using room temperature ingredients when possible helps them blend better.
- Do not skip the second rise; it makes the rolls super fluffy and soft.
- Slightly warm the cookie butter before spreading for easier application.
- Use dental floss to cut the rolls instead of a knife to prevent squishing the dough.
- Serve cinnamon rolls warm for the best flavor and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat briefly before serving.
