Ingredients Breakdown

Here’s everything you’ll need to make 8–10 of these indulgent rolls. The recipe is designed for vegetarians and yields 8 generous servings.

Dough

• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup warm milk (around 110°F)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg

Filling

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Biscoff cookie butter

Topping

• 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter, melted
• 4 to 5 crushed Biscoff cookies

Serving Size: Approximately 1 roll per serving

Tools & Equipment Needed

• Mixing bowls (large and medium)
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Whisk and spatula
• Rolling pin
• Greased baking dish (8×8 or 9×9 recommended)
• Oven
• Knife for slicing rolls
• Small bowl for melted Biscoff butter drizzle

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast

Begin by combining the warm milk, granulated sugar, active dry yeast, and salt in a medium bowl. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until the mixture is frothy. This ensures your yeast is active, which is crucial for a light and airy dough.

2. Prepare the Dough

Add the melted butter and egg to the yeast mixture. Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 6–8 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.

3. Roll Out the Dough

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle. Spread melted butter and Biscoff cookie butter evenly over the surface. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture on top.

4. Shape the Rolls

Roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 8–10 equal pieces and arrange them in a greased baking dish. Cover the dish and allow the rolls to rise for 30 minutes. This second rise ensures that the rolls will be fluffy and soft when baked.

5. Bake the Rolls

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking, which can dry out the rolls.

6. Add the Biscoff Drizzle

While the rolls are warm, drizzle melted Biscoff cookie butter over the top and sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies. This adds an extra layer of flavor and crunch, making the rolls irresistible.

Tips & Variations

• Milk Temperature: Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to properly activate the yeast. Too hot and it can kill the yeast.
• Rising Tips: For the fluffiest rolls, allow the dough to rise fully in a warm environment. Covering it with a damp cloth prevents drying.
• Vegan Option: Substitute milk with plant-based milk, butter with coconut oil or vegan butter, and egg with a flax egg.
• Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar filling for extra warmth.
• Nut-Free Option: Biscoff cookie butter is naturally nut-free, making this recipe suitable for those with peanut or tree nut allergies.
• Make-Ahead: Prepare the rolls up to the second rise, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bake fresh in the morning.
