What Is Biscoff?
Biscoff spread, also known as cookie butter, is made from crushed spiced caramelized biscuits. It has a smooth, creamy texture similar to peanut butter but with flavors of:
-
Cinnamon
-
Brown sugar

Caramel

Subtle spice
When baked into cinnamon rolls, Biscoff melts into the filling, creating a gooey, fragrant center that elevates this classic treat to the next level.

1 packet (7 g) instant yeast
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¾ cup warm milk
-
1 large egg
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

½ cup Biscoff spread (smooth)
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
-
½ cup brown sugar

How to Make Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, mix warm milk and sugar. Add yeast and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Stir in the egg and melted butter.
Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead by hand or mixer for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Form into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1–1½ hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Slightly warm the Biscoff spread so it’s easy to spread, but not hot.
Step 3: Roll and Fill
Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle about 14 x 10 inches. Spread the cinnamon-butter mixture evenly over the dough, then gently spread the Biscoff on top.
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 10–12 even rolls.
Step 4: Second Rise
Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving space between them. Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes, until puffy.
Step 5: Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 22–26 minutes, until lightly golden and cooked through but still soft in the center.
Avoid overbaking—softness is key.
Make the Biscoff Glaze
While rolls are baking, whisk powdered sugar, Biscoff spread, milk, and vanilla until smooth and pourable. Adjust consistency as needed.
Drizzle glaze over warm rolls so it melts into the layers.
