Ingredients You’ll Need

4 cups all-purpose flour: This is the base for the cinnamon rolls, giving them that fluffy texture. Make sure to spoon it into your measuring cup to avoid packing it down.
⅓ cup granulated sugar: This adds a touch of sweetness to the dough. You can substitute with coconut sugar if you’re looking for a healthier option.
2¼ teaspoons instant yeast: Instant yeast helps the dough rise beautifully without needing to proof it. Look for a high-quality brand for best results.
1 teaspoon salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances the flavor of the rolls.
1 cup warm milk: This activates the yeast and helps bind the ingredients. Aim for a temperature that’s cozy to the touch, about 110°F.
⅓ cup unsalted butter (melted): Adds richness and flavor to the dough. If you prefer a dairy-free option, you can use coconut oil.
2 large eggs: These contribute to the tenderness of the rolls. Using room temperature eggs will yield the best results.
½ cup unsalted butter (softened): Used for the filling, this buttery goodness makes the rolls melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
¾ cup Biscoff spread: This is the star of the show! It adds a sweet, cookie-like flavor. There’s nothing quite like it, but a similar speculoos spread would work in a pinch.
½ cup brown sugar: This brings a deep sweetness and caramel flavor to the filling. Light or dark brown sugar both work wonderfully.
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon: Essential for the classic cinnamon roll flavor. You can adjust the amount according to your preference.
⅓ cup crushed Biscoff cookies: These add a delightful crunch and extra flavor. Feel free to top or fill with other cookie crumbles too!
½ cup heavy cream: This is poured over the rolls before baking, keeping them moist and creamy.
4 ounces cream cheese (softened): A tangy base for the icing that balances the sweetness.
¼ cup unsalted butter (softened): This adds a lovely creaminess to the icing.
⅓ cup Biscoff spread: Another layer of that delicious flavor in the icing!
1 cup powdered sugar: Needed for sweetening the icing—sift it for a smoother texture.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Adds warmth to the frosting flavor. Use pure vanilla for the best results.
2 tablespoons milk: This thins the icing to the perfect drizzling consistency.
12 Biscoff cookies: The perfect finishing touch on top of each roll for added crunch!
¼ cup crushed Biscoff cookies: A sprinkle on the icing adds a delightful texture and cookie goodness.

How to Make Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls

Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 2¼ teaspoons instant yeast, and 1 teaspoon salt until evenly combined.
Mix the Wet Ingredients: Add the 1 cup warm milk, ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter, and 2 large eggs into the flour mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8 minutes by hand or 5 minutes in a stand mixer, until smooth and elastic.
First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Make the Filling: While the dough rises, mix together ½ cup softened butter and ¾ cup Biscoff spread until smooth and spreadable.
Roll Out the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle measuring 16 by 12 inches.
Add the Filling: Spread the Biscoff butter mixture evenly over the dough, going right to the edges. Sprinkle ½ cup brown sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon over the top, then scatter the ⅓ cup crushed Biscoff cookies over everything.
Shape the Rolls: Starting from a long edge, roll the dough up tightly into a log. Cut it into 12 evenly-sized rolls and place them in a greased 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 45 minutes, until puffy. Towards the end of rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare to Bake: Just before baking, slowly pour the ½ cup warmed heavy cream over the risen rolls, letting it settle in the nooks.
Bake the Rolls: Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and baked through. Cool for 10 minutes before icing.
Make the Icing: In a mixing bowl, beat together 4 ounces cream cheese, ¼ cup softened butter, and ⅓ cup Biscoff spread until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons milk, beating until creamy.
Ice the Rolls: Spread the icing over warm rolls, letting it melt slightly into the crevices. Top each roll with a whole Biscoff cookie and sprinkle the ¼ cup crushed Biscoff cookies for a delicious crunch.

Storing & Reheating

To store your delightful Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you need them to last longer, refrigerate them for about a week, again in an airtight container. For extended storage, freeze the rolls for up to 3 months. To reheat, place them in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through, but be aware that the texture may be a bit different once frozen.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Common Mistakes: Ensure your yeast is fresh for the best rise. If you’re unsure, proof it by mixing with warm water and a pinch of sugar before adding it to the dough.
Ingredient Temperature: Use room temperature eggs and softened butter for better incorporation in your dough and icing.
Timing: Allow enough time for the dough to rise properly; rushing this stage can yield dense rolls.
Texture Troubleshooting: If your rolls feel dense, consider adding a bit more flour during kneading until they’re soft and elastic.
Flavor Enhancements: A pinch of nutmeg alongside the cinnamon can bring another level of warmth and depth.

Every roll has its story, and these Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls are definitely one you’ll want to share. With each bite, you’ll enjoy their warm, sweet spiciness that reminds you of cozy mornings. Plus, they are simple enough to whip up any day. So grab your ingredients and get ready to bake—there’s nothing quite like warm rolls fresh from the oven!

Recipe FAQs

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance. After step 4, cover the dough tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Just allow it to come to room temperature before rolling it out.

How do I know when my rolls are done?

The rolls are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. They should also feel springy to the touch.

Is there a way to make these dairy-free?

Absolutely! Substitute the melted butter and cream with coconut oil and a non-dairy milk of your choice. Use a dairy-free cream cheese alternative for the icing, and your rolls will still be delicious.

Can I freeze baked cinnamon rolls?

Yes! After baking and cooling, wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap and then in foil. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat directly from the freezer in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
