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
- 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.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, mix the yeast mixture with melted butter, salt, egg, and flour. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Step 3: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 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.
- Step 5: Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread the Biscoff cookie butter evenly over the surface, then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
- Step 6: Roll the dough tightly into a log, slice into 1 to 2-inch thick pieces, and arrange them in a baking dish.
- Step 7: Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let rise again for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Step 8: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- 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.

Ingredients
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
