Ingredients You’ll Need

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the Dough:

• 4 cups all-purpose flour (500 g) – Spoon and level for accuracy.
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 g) – Slight sweetness for the dough.
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet) – For the perfect rise.
• 1 cup whole milk (240 ml), warmed – Around 110°F to activate the yeast.
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter (75 g), melted – Adds richness and softness.
• 2 large eggs – Help bind and enrich the dough.
• 1/4 teaspoon salt – Balances the sweetness.

For the Filling:

• 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter (150 g) – The star of the show.
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon – Adds classic spiced warmth.

For the Glaze:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (60 g) – Sweet and smooth.
• 2 tablespoons Biscoff cookie butter (30 g) – For a deep caramel flavor.
• 1–2 tablespoons milk (15–30 ml) – Adjust for desired consistency.

Let’s Get Started

Ready to make some magic? Let’s walk through the steps.

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy—proof that your yeast is alive and ready to go.

Step 2: Make the Dough

Add melted butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing after each addition. Knead by hand or with a stand mixer for about 8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Form the dough into a ball, place it in a greased bowl, and cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 3: Roll and Fill

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it onto a floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle, about 12×16 inches.

Warm the Biscoff cookie butter slightly so it’s easier to spread. Spread it evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the top.

Step 4: Roll Up and Cut

Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 12 even rolls using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss.

Place the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy.

Step 5: Bake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through. If they start browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil.

Step 6: Glaze

While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, Biscoff cookie butter, and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls so it melts into all the nooks and crannies.

Servings and Pairing

This recipe makes 12 generous rolls, perfect for sharing… or not.

Pair With:

• Hot coffee or a latte – The bitterness of coffee balances the sweetness beautifully.
• Chai or cinnamon-spiced tea – Complements the warm spices in the rolls.
• Fresh fruit – Add a bit of brightness to your sweet breakfast.

Whether for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, these rolls are the star of the table.

Variations

Want to make them your own? Try these easy swaps:

• Add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
• Drizzle with white chocolate for extra richness.
• Make mini rolls for bite-sized treats—cut the log into 18 smaller pieces.
• Use brown sugar + cookie butter in the filling for a deeper caramel flavor.

And if you’re a true cookie butter fan, try serving with a little extra on the side for dipping.

Storage Tips

These rolls are best warm from the oven, but they store well too.

• Room Temp: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Fridge: Store up to 5 days, but warm them before eating.
• Freezer: Freeze unglazed rolls in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight and warm in the oven, then glaze.

To Reheat: Microwave for 20–30 seconds or warm in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes.

FAQs

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes! After the first rise, you can refrigerate the dough overnight. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before rolling out.

Can I use instant yeast instead?

Absolutely. Just mix it directly with the dry ingredients and skip the proofing step with the milk.

Is cookie butter the same as Biscoff spread?

Yes! Biscoff is a popular brand of cookie butter made from speculoos cookies.

Can I double the recipe?

Definitely. Just use two baking dishes or a large sheet pan.

What if I don’t have whole milk?

You can substitute with 2% milk or even almond milk, though the richness may be slightly reduced.
