Ingredients

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)

1 packet (2¼ tsp) instant yeast

¼ cup granulated sugar

½ tsp salt

½ cup warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)

¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup Biscoff cookie butter (melted slightly for spreading)

¼ cup unsalted butter (softened)

½ cup brown sugar

1½ tsp ground cinnamon

4 oz cream cheese (softened)

3 Tbsp unsalted butter (softened)

2 Tbsp Biscoff cookie butter

¾ cup powdered sugar

½ tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Step 2: Add the egg, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture, then gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.

Step 3: Knead the dough by hand or with a mixer for 5–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5: Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing softened butter, melted cookie butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth and spreadable.

Step 6: Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 12×16-inch rectangle.

Step 7: Spread the cookie butter mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 8: Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log, then slice into 12 equal rolls.

Step 9: Place the rolls into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30–40 minutes until puffy and nearly doubled.

Step 10: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes until golden on top and soft in the center.

Step 11: While baking, prepare the frosting by beating cream cheese, softened butter, Biscoff cookie butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fluffy and smooth.

Step 12: Spread the frosting generously over the warm rolls so it melts slightly into the swirls.

Step 13: Optional: drizzle extra melted Biscoff cookie butter on top and sprinkle cookie crumbs for garnish.

Tips & Variations

For an extra gooey center, warm the cookie butter slightly before spreading it on the dough.

Use room temperature ingredients for better dough rise and texture.

Try adding chopped nuts or raisins to the filling for additional texture.

Leftover rolls freeze well; thaw and warm before frosting for fresh taste.

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of Biscoff cookie butter?

Yes, you can substitute peanut butter, but keep in mind it will change the flavor profile significantly. Biscoff provides a caramelized, spiced sweetness that is key to the original taste.

How do I know when the dough has risen enough?

The dough is ready when it has doubled in size and looks puffy. You can gently press it with a finger—if the indentation stays or slowly fills back in, it’s properly risen and ready for the next step.
