Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 cup warm whole milk (100–110°F)
  • 3 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt

Filling

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup finely crushed Biscoff cookies
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Frosting

  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Additional

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (for topping before baking)
  • Additional crushed Biscoff cookies and brown sugar for bottom of pan

Instructions

  1. Warm the Milk & Activate Yeast: Heat the milk in 20-second increments in the microwave until it reaches 100–110°F. Stir in the yeast and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine melted butter, vanilla, eggs, and brown sugar; mix until smooth. Pour in the activated milk mixture and stir to combine.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients & Knead: Add flour and salt. With a dough hook, mix on low for 2 minutes until a shaggy dough forms, then increase to medium speed and knead for 8 minutes. If kneading by hand, mix until it comes together, then knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes.
  4. First Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm spot (around 70°F) for 60–90 minutes until doubled in size.
  5. Roll the Dough: Punch down the risen dough and turn onto a floured surface. Roll into a 12×18-inch rectangle.
  6. Prepare the Filling: Mix melted butter and Biscoff cookie butter until smooth, spread evenly over the dough. In a separate bowl, mix crushed Biscoff cookies, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly and press gently into the buttered dough.
  7. Slice & Roll: Cut the rectangle into 12 equal strips. Roll each strip tightly into a spiral, maintaining clean swirls.
  8. Prepare the Pan: Grease or line the baking pan. Sprinkle brown sugar and crushed cookies on the bottom if desired. Place rolls swirl-side up in the pan.
  9. Second Rise: Cover the pan and let the rolls rise for 30–45 minutes until puffed.
  10. Optional Cream Hack: Pour 1/4 cup heavy cream over the rolls before baking to keep bottoms soft and gooey.
  11. Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden but still soft.
  12. Make the Frosting: Beat cream cheese, room temperature butter, and Biscoff cookie butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add a splash of milk if needed to thin.
  13. Frost & Serve: Spread frosting generously over warm rolls. Optionally sprinkle with extra crushed cookies. Serve immediately while warm and gooey.
  14. Overnight Option 1: After shaping and placing rolls in pan, cover tightly and refrigerate overnight (8–12 hours). Next morning, let rolls come to room temp and rise for 45–60 minutes before baking as directed.
  15. Overnight Option 2: Bake rolls fully as directed but do not frost. Cool completely, then cover and store at room temp or fridge. Reheat in 300°F oven for 10–15 minutes when ready to serve, then frost and serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure milk is between 100–110°F for proper yeast activation; too hot can kill the yeast.
  • If using all-purpose flour, texture will still be good though bread flour yields chewier rolls.
  • Press filling gently into dough to avoid spillage when rolling.
  • The cream poured before baking adds moisture and softness to the roll bottoms.
  • Refrigerating rolls overnight in the pan allows for an easy make-ahead breakfast.
  • Reheat un-frosted rolls gently to maintain softness before frosting.
