Scale
Main Ingredients (Dough and Filling):
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
- 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 large egg
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Icing Ingredients:
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm milk with a touch of sugar, allowing it to foam and activate for 5 minutes.
- Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, then incorporate yeast mixture, melted butter, water, and egg until a cohesive dough develops.
- Thoroughly knead the dough for 5-7 minutes to achieve a smooth, elastic texture. Cover and let it rise in a warm spot for approximately 1 hour or until volume doubles.
- Create a luscious filling by blending Biscoff cookie butter with softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until perfectly smooth.
- Gently roll the risen dough into a rectangular shape measuring 12×18 inches, ensuring an even surface.
- Spread the prepared filling uniformly across the dough’s surface, then carefully roll from the long side, creating a tight cylindrical shape.
- Slice the roll into 12 equal portions and arrange them in a generously greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Allow rolls to undergo a second rise for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350F (175C).
- Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until they acquire a golden-brown complexion.
- Whip cream cheese, Biscoff cookie butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into a creamy icing, gradually adding milk to achieve a spreadable consistency.
- Lavishly drizzle the prepared icing over the warm cinnamon rolls, ensuring complete coverage.
Notes
- Choose room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and optimal yeast activation.
- Allow extra rising time in colder kitchens, as yeast needs warmth to develop properly.
- Use a kitchen thermometer to check milk temperature between 100-110°F for perfect yeast proofing.
- Dust work surface with minimal flour to prevent dry, tough dough during rolling.
- Slice rolls with dental floss for clean, precise cuts without squishing the dough.
- Refrigerate unbaked rolls overnight for convenient morning baking, letting them rise slowly.
- Swap traditional filling with alternative spreads like Nutella or almond butter for variety.
- Replace dairy milk with plant-based alternatives for vegan-friendly adaptation.
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
- Warm rolls briefly before serving to restore soft, fresh texture and enhance flavor.
