Dough
- 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus about 1/2 cup as needed
- 4 1/2 teaspoons (2 packets) instant dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
Filling
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup cookie butter, melted
Frosting & Toppings
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, room temperature
- 1/4 cup cookie butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chopped cookies
- Prepare the filling and dry mix: In a bowl, combine 1 cup packed dark brown sugar, 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt to create the filling; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 4 1/2 teaspoons instant dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon fine salt.
- Make the dough mixture: Warm 1 cup whole milk with 1/2 cup unsalted butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until the butter melts and mixture is warm (not hot). Pour this warm mixture into the dry ingredients. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition, until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead and rest the dough: Knead the dough by hand or with a mixer, adding extra flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it becomes tacky but not sticky. Once kneaded, let the dough rest for 10 to 20 minutes to relax the gluten and rise slightly.
- Roll out and fill the dough: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 14 by 18 inch rectangle about 1/2 cm thick. Spread 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch edge clear. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar filling over the butter, then drizzle 1/3 cup melted cookie butter evenly on top for extra flavor.
- Form the rolls: Tightly roll the dough from the long side, sealing the edge with a little water to keep it closed. Using unflavored dental floss, cut the rolled log into 12 equal pieces to form the rolls.
- Proof the rolls: Place the separated rolls into a greased 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Either let them proof at room temperature for about 30 minutes if baking immediately, or cover and refrigerate overnight for a slow proof and development of flavor.
- Bake the rolls: Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 26 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the frosting: While the rolls are baking or cooling, whip together 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt until smooth. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, continuing to beat until creamy and spreadable.
- Frost and finish: Allow baked rolls to cool for about 10 minutes before spreading the frosting generously over them. Drizzle 1/4 cup melted cookie butter on top, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped cookies for added texture and flavor.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the Biscoff Cookie Butter Cinnamon Rolls warm for the best experience, enjoying the harmonious layers of cinnamon, cookie butter, and creamy frosting.
Notes
- Use unflavored dental floss for clean, even cuts without squishing the dough rolls.
- If the dough is too sticky during kneading, add flour gradually, but avoid making it too dry to keep rolls soft.
- For easier handling and a no-knead option, consider trying a no-knead cinnamon roll recipe variation.
- Proof the rolls overnight in the refrigerator for a deeper flavor and slower rise.
- Make sure milk mixture is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
