how to make Biscoff Cookie Butter Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients :

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup warm milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk (for icing)

Directions :

Activate the Yeast: Start by activating the yeast. In a medium bowl, combine the warm milk (make sure it’s about 110°F for best results), active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Look for a frothy layer on top; this shows that the yeast is working.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, mix together the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. This is your dry mixture, which will come together with the wet ingredients to form the dough.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the activated yeast mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the melted butter and egg. Mix everything together until a dough starts to form. You might want to use a spoon or your hands to combine the ingredients.
Knead the Dough: Dust a clean surface with flour and transfer the dough onto it. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. This step is essential as it helps the dough develop the right gluten structure for a fluffy roll.
Let it Rise: Once kneaded, place the dough into a greased bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size. This rising time helps create that light, airy texture we love in cinnamon rolls.
Roll Out the Dough: After the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release any air bubbles. Then, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle, roughly 12×8 inches in size.
Spread the Biscoff Cookie Butter: Take the Biscoff cookie butter and spread it evenly over the entire surface of the rolled-out dough. You can heat it slightly in the microwave for a few seconds to make it easier to spread.
Add Cinnamon and Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the Biscoff cookie butter, allowing the flavors to blend beautifully.
Roll it Up: Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Try to keep it as tight as possible to ensure that all the filling stays inside.
Slice the Rolls: Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the dough into 1 to 1.5 inch thick pieces. You’ll have about 8-10 rolls, depending on the thickness of your slices.
Second Rise: Arrange the sliced rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each one for them to expand. Cover again and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes while you preheat your oven.
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready for the rolls once they finish rising.
Bake the Cinnamon Rolls: Once the rolls have risen, carefully place the baking dish in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown on the tops.
Prepare the Icing: While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by mixing the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the milk quantity if you want a thinner or thicker icing.
Drizzle and Serve: As soon as the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the icing generously over the warm rolls for maximum flavor. Serve them immediately for the best experience!

how to serve Biscoff Cookie Butter Cinnamon Rolls

These cinnamon rolls are best served warm. You can enjoy them as they are, fresh out of the oven, for a delightful breakfast or a quick snack. They pair wonderfully with coffee, tea, or a glass of milk, making them great for brunch gatherings or leisurely weekend mornings. For an extra touch, consider adding whipped cream or a dollop of vanilla ice cream on the side, particularly if you’re serving them for dessert.

how to store Biscoff Cookie Butter Cinnamon Rolls

If you have leftovers (though we doubt you will!), store the rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them fresh longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. If you want to enjoy them later, consider freezing them. Wrap individual rolls tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply microwave them for 20-30 seconds or place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.

tips to make Biscoff Cookie Butter Cinnamon Rolls

Measure the Flour Accurately: Too much flour can lead to dense rolls, so spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
Warm Ingredients: Make sure your milk is warm, not hot, as excessive heat can kill the yeast.
Don’t Rush the Rise: Allow the dough to rise sufficiently; this is an important step that contributes to the lightness of your rolls.
Use Good Quality Biscoff: The flavor of the cookie butter affects the overall taste, so choose a good quality brand. If you can find it, the crunchy version can add texture.
Experiment with Spices: If you’re adventurous, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of vanilla extract for an extra flavor dimension.

variation

While Biscoff Cookie Butter is delicious, you can experiment with other spreads and fillings too! Consider Nutella, peanut butter, or cinnamon sugar combined with a fruit spread for even more unique variations. Additionally, you might use cream cheese frosting instead of the icing for a tangy counterpart to the sweetness.

FAQs

Can I use a bread machine to make these rolls?
Yes! You can use the dough setting on your bread machine. Simply add the ingredients in the order recommended by your machine and let it knead and rise. Then proceed with rolling and baking as usual.
What if my rolls didn’t rise?
If your rolls didn’t rise, it may be due to inactive yeast. Always check the expiration date on your yeast packet before using it. If the yeast mixture doesn’t foam in the first step, it might be best to use a new batch.
Can these rolls be made ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough up to the second rise stage, refrigerate it overnight, and bake them fresh in the morning. Simply let them come to room temperature and complete the second rise before baking.

With these easy steps and thoughtful advice, you’re well on your way to making the most delicious Biscoff Cookie Butter Cinnamon Rolls. Enjoy the process, and savor the delightful treats you’ve created!
