“These Biscoff cinnamon rolls will ruin you of all other cinnamon rolls,” Shae added. “They are that good.” It starts with a traditional cinnamon roll dough, a layer of cookie butter and brown sugar spread, and a cookie butter icing.
Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls
Recipe by Shae Memmott
Total Time: 2.5 Hours
Yields 24-26 rolls
INGREDIENTS
For the dough
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup salted butter, cold
- 2 tbsp dry active yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup + 1 tsp sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- 7 cups all purpose flour
For the filling
- 12 tbsp salted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup crunchy Biscoff spread
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp cinnamon
For the frosting
- 3/4 cup salted butter, softened
- 3 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup Biscoff spread, crunchy or creamy
METHOD
- Microwave milk in a small bowl for two minutes.
- Dice 1/2 cup cold butter into chunks and add to hot milk. Set aside for 10 minutes to let the butter melt.
- While the butter melts, in a medium bowl or to the bowl of your stand mixer, add warm water, yeast, and one teaspoon of the sugar.
- Whisk together and let sit for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, add the milk mixture to the yeast mixture.
- Add three cups of flour and mix it together.
- Add 1/4 cup sugar, salt, and the eggs.
- Mix until combined.
- Add three more cups of flour and slowly mix, then slowly add the last cup of flour and mix until combined. The dough will be sticky. (Use a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment if you have one).
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it in a warm draft free place and let it rise for one hour.
- After an hour the dough should have doubled in size. Pour the dough onto a floured surface and roll into a large rectangle approximately 16 inches by 28 inches (roughly).
- For the filling add all filling ingredients to a stand mixer or medium sized bowl and mix on medium speed until everything is fully incorporated.
- Spread the filling all over the dough and get it as close to the edges as you can. We want every single bite to have that cinnamon-y goodness in it.
- Tightly roll the dough into a large log.
- Cut two to three-inch size rolls with a sharp knife. You should get 24-26 cinnamon rolls.
- Spray three 9×13 baking pans with cooking spray.
- Add the 8-10 cinnamon rolls per pan.
- Pour the 3/4 heavy cream evenly over all 3 pans of the rolls. Cover and let rise for 30 to 60 minutes until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes until the tops have just started turning a light golden brown. While the cinnamon rolls bake, make the frosting.
- For the frosting, in a stand mixer or large bowl beat together butter and Biscoff spread for 3 minutes until smooth (won’t be completely smooth if you are using crunchy spread).
- Add 1 cup of powdered sugar at a time and mix until all the powdered sugar has been used and it is fully mixed in.
- Add the heavy whipping cream and beat on medium high for 2 minutes.
- Once cinnamon rolls are done, remove them from the oven and immediately spread the frosting on top of the cinnamon rolls making sure to evenly distribute the frosting among the 3 pans of cinnamon rolls.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
