👩‍🍳 How to Make Biscoff Cookie Butter Cinnamon Rolls

1. Make the Dough

Start by warming your milk to around 110°F—warm but not hot. In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. This means the yeast is active and ready to go. Add the egg, egg yolk, and melted butter. Mix well.

Add the flour and salt gradually and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes by hand or 5–6 minutes in a stand mixer until smooth and slightly tacky. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

2. Prepare the Filling

While the dough is rising, make your delicious Biscoff filling. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, melted Biscoff cookie butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and spreadable. Set aside.

3. Roll and Fill

Once your dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, about 14×9 inches. Spread the Biscoff filling evenly over the surface using a spatula or back of a spoon, covering every edge.

Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Slice into 9 or 12 even rolls and place them into a greased 9×13 baking dish. Cover loosely and let rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy.

4. Bake to Perfection

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes or until golden on top and cooked through in the center. Don’t overbake—soft and gooey is the goal!

5. Make the Glaze

While the rolls are cooling slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar, melted Biscoff cookie butter, and milk. Drizzle generously over the warm rolls and watch it melt into every swirl.

💡 Tips for the Best Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls

🍞 Cut rolls with dental floss – It keeps them round and prevents squishing

🍪 Spread filling evenly – For that beautiful, even Biscoff swirl in every bite
🧁 Serve warm – They taste best fresh out of the oven with gooey glaze dripping down

🔬 The Science Behind Their Unique Texture

The tenderness of these cinnamon rolls comes from a balance of butter, egg yolk, and yeast fermentation. The dough is enriched, meaning it has fat and eggs—these help develop a soft, pillowy texture rather than a chewy or crusty one. The yeast fermentation produces air bubbles, which expand during baking to create those iconic spirals we love.

The cookie butter’s high sugar and fat content melts into the dough as it bakes, giving it an almost caramelized feel in every bite. And because we use a generous second rise, the rolls become light and airy instead of dense.
