Directions and Instructions
- Begin by combining the warm milk, active dry yeast, and a pinch of sugar in a small bowl. Allow this mixture to sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy and fragrant.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients, along with the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
- While the dough rises, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out onto a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the softened butter over the surface of the dough, then layer on the Biscoff cookie butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, creating a sweet filling.
- Starting from one end, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal rolls.
- Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased baking dish, cover them, and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- After rising, bake the rolls in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are beautifully golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, make the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk. Adjust the consistency to your liking, ensuring it’s smooth and drizzle-able.
- Once the rolls are done baking, drizzle the warm glaze over them right before serving, allowing it to soak into all the nooks and crannies.
Notes or Tips
For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling. If you’re short on time, you can prepare the dough the night before, let it rise in the refrigerator, and bake it fresh in the morning. These rolls also freeze beautifully; just wrap them tightly and store in an airtight container.
Cooking Techniques
Kneading the dough is essential to achieve that soft, fluffy texture. Don’t rush this step—give it the love and attention it needs! Also, make sure not to skip the rising times; they help develop the flavor and texture of the rolls.
FAQ
Can I use a different type of cookie butter?

What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Store any leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also reheat them in the microwave for a warm treat.
