The image shows three cinnamon rolls arranged on a white plate, placed on a white marbled surface. Each roll has a thick swirl layered with dark brown cinnamon filling visible from the side and top. The outer dough is golden brown with a slightly textured and soft look. The rolls are covered in a smooth, glossy beige icing that drips down the sides generously. Crumbled brown sugar topping sits on the top of each roll, adding a rough texture that contrasts with the smooth icing. The focus is on the foremost roll with the other two softly blurred in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast (check expiration date for freshness)
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F / 43°C, dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (can substitute with brown sugar)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (can use plant-based butter for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg (can substitute with flaxseed or chia seed egg)
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (can use whole wheat flour, adjust liquid)
  • 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter (ensure vegan-friendly if needed)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Activate the yeast by combining warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until bubbly and frothy.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, mix the yeast mixture with melted butter, salt, egg, and flour. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Step 3: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Step 4: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  5. Step 5: Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread the Biscoff cookie butter evenly over the surface, then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
  6. Step 6: Roll the dough tightly into a log, slice into 1 to 2-inch thick pieces, and arrange them in a baking dish.
  7. Step 7: Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let rise again for 30 to 45 minutes.
  8. Step 8: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Step 9: Let the rolls cool slightly before drizzling with a glaze made by mixing powdered sugar and milk.

Tips & Variations

  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk, vegan butter, and a flaxseed or chia seed egg substitute.
  • You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling for extra texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of powdered sugar in the glaze to suit your preferred sweetness.
  • Use whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor but reduce the liquid slightly to maintain dough consistency.

Storage

Store leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat rolls gently in the microwave or oven to restore softness before serving.

How to Serve

Three cinnamon rolls are on a white plate sitting on a white marbled surface, each roll showing a rich brown, swirled dough base with a soft texture. The rolls are covered in thick, glossy white icing that drips down the sides, pooling slightly on the plate. On top of the icing, there is a sprinkling of crumbly golden brown sugar, adding a rough texture and contrast to the smooth glaze. The rolls are closely packed, with the center roll in clear focus, showing detail in the icing and crumb topping, while the others are softly blurred in the background.

FAQs

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough up to the first rise, refrigerate overnight, then let it come to room temperature and proceed with shaping and baking the next day.

What if I don’t have Biscoff cookie butter?

You can substitute with smooth peanut butter, almond butter, or any other spiced spread you enjoy, though the flavor will vary accordingly.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast (Check expiration date for freshness)
  • 1 cup Warm Milk (110°F / 43°C, dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar (can substitute with brown sugar)
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter (melted, can use plant-based butter for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Large Egg (can substitute with flaxseed or chia seed egg)
  • 4 cups All-Purpose Flour (can use whole wheat flour, adjust liquid accordingly)

Filling

  • 1 cup Biscoff Cookie Butter (ensure vegan-friendly if needed)
  • Sugar and Cinnamon (amount unspecified but typically about 1/4 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon used)

Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Milk (use dairy or non-dairy)

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast: In a cozy bowl, combine the warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Allow it to sit undisturbed for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes bubbly and frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
  2. Mix Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the activated yeast mixture with melted unsalted butter, salt, large egg, and all-purpose flour. Stir until a sticky dough forms, ensuring ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
  3. Knead Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic, which will help develop gluten for a soft texture.
  4. First Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and leave it in a warm place. Allow it to rise until doubled in size, which usually takes about 1 hour.
  5. Prepare Filling: Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the Biscoff cookie butter evenly over the surface, then sprinkle generously with sugar and cinnamon to create the flavorful filling.
  6. Shape Rolls: Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log starting from one edge, then slice the roll into 1-2 inch thick pieces. Arrange the slices evenly in a greased baking dish or pan.
  7. Second Rise: Cover the shaped rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise for an additional 30-45 minutes until they puff up and look airy.
  8. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
  9. Glaze: While the rolls cool slightly, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Drizzle this glaze generously over the warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • Use warm milk around 110°F to properly activate the yeast without killing it.
  • For a vegan option, substitute the large egg with a flaxseed or chia seed egg and use plant-based butter and non-dairy milk.
  • Adjust the sugar quantity in the filling to taste if you prefer a less sweet roll.
  • If whole wheat flour is used, the dough may require slightly more liquid due to higher absorption.
  • Allow the rolls to cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off immediately.
  • Ensure yeast is fresh for optimal rise; expired yeast may lead to dense rolls.
