Let me share my favorite twist on cinnamon rolls - these incredible Biscoff Cookie Butter Cinnamon Rolls! They're everything you love about classic cinnamon rolls but with the rich caramelized flavor of Biscoff cookies swirled throughout. The dough stays so soft and fluffy and that cream cheese Biscoff icing takes them over the top. Trust me you'll never want regular cinnamon rolls again!
Not Your Ordinary Cinnamon Roll
What makes these rolls so special is how that warm spiced Biscoff cookie butter adds such amazing flavor to both the filling and the icing. It's like having your favorite cookies and cinnamon rolls in one perfect package. They're just right for cozy weekend mornings or making any breakfast feel extra special.
What You'll Need
- For the Dough: - All-purpose flour - A bit of sugar - Active dry yeast - Warm milk to wake up the yeast - Melted butter - One egg - Just a pinch of salt
- For the Amazing Filling: - Creamy Biscoff cookie butter - Brown sugar - Ground cinnamon - Soft butter
- For the Dreamy Icing: - Soft cream cheese - More Biscoff (because why not!) - Powdered sugar - Pure vanilla - A splash of milk
Let's Make Some Magic

- Wake up your yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar until it gets foamy.

- Knead until smooth then let it get puffy for an hour.
- Create the Filling:

Make Them Perfect
These are best served warm when that icing is still a bit melty. Keep any leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. A quick warmup in the microwave makes them taste fresh-baked again.
My Best Tips
Make sure your milk is just warm not hot we don't want to hurt the yeast. And don't rush the kneading - that's what gives us that perfect fluffy texture. A warm spot for rising makes all the difference.
Make Life Easier
Want to have fresh rolls for breakfast? Make them the night before let them do their second rise in the fridge then bake in the morning. Nothing better than waking up to the smell of fresh cinnamon rolls!
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why didn't my dough rise?
Make sure yeast is fresh and milk temperature is correct (110°F). Too hot will kill yeast, too cold won't activate it.
- Can I make these ahead?
Prepare through shaping, then refrigerate overnight. Let come to room temp before baking.
- Why is my filling leaking?
Make sure butter isn't too soft and roll dough tightly. Don't overfill or spread filling too close to edges.
- Can I freeze these rolls?
Freeze before adding icing. Thaw overnight and warm slightly before icing.
- Can I substitute regular butter for cookie butter?
Yes, but you'll lose the signature Biscoff flavor. Consider adding extra cinnamon instead.
