Why This Works
This recipe works because it cleverly utilizes store-bought ingredients to achieve maximum flavor with minimal fuss. Pre-made cookie butter takes the guesswork out of creating that signature Biscoff taste, and the simple rolling and baking technique ensures perfectly gooey cinnamon rolls every time. It’s a weeknight winner!
Key Ingredients
- 🍪 1 (13.8 ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough
- 🥄 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter
- 🤎 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 🍂 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 🧈 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 🥛 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the dough: Unroll the pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface.
2️⃣ Mix the filling: In a small bowl, combine the Biscoff cookie butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
3️⃣ Spread the magic: Spread the cookie butter mixture evenly over the pizza dough.
4️⃣ Roll it up: Tightly roll the dough from the long side into a log.
5️⃣ Slice and dice: Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
6️⃣ Butter it up: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. Arrange the cinnamon roll slices in the pan.
7️⃣ Milk bath: Drizzle the melted butter and milk evenly over the rolls.
8️⃣ Bake it: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9️⃣ Glaze (optional): While still warm, drizzle with a simple cream cheese glaze (cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a splash of milk – recipe easily found online!).
Handy Tips
- Use a pastry brush for even distribution of the melted butter and milk mixture.
- If you don’t have a 9×13 inch pan, use a similar-sized baking dish.
- Don’t overbake! Slightly underbaked rolls will be softer and gooier.
Heat Control
Baking at 375°F (190°C) ensures the rolls bake through evenly without burning. Keep an eye on them during the last 5-7 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning. Adjust baking time based on your oven – it’s better to slightly underbake than overbake!
Crunch Factor
While these rolls have a soft, gooey interior, you can achieve a slight crispness to the top by brushing them with additional melted butter in the last few minutes of baking.
Pro Kitchen Tricks
- For even easier prep, use a pre-made cinnamon roll dough instead of pizza dough.
- Add a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for extra texture and flavor.
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
Storage Tips
Store leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
Gift Packaging Ideas
These cinnamon rolls make a delightful gift! Package individual rolls in parchment paper or small cellophane bags, tied with a ribbon. A cute card with the recipe included is a nice touch.
Flavor Variations
🌟 Chocolate Chip Surprise: Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to the cookie butter mixture.
🌟 Nutty Delight: Add 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the cookie butter mixture.
🌟 Apple Cinnamon Twist: Add 1/2 cup diced apple to the cookie butter mixture.
🌟 Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cookie butter mixture for a subtle heat.
Troubleshooting
- Rolls are too dry: Next time, add a bit more milk or butter to the topping.
- Rolls are too brown: Reduce the oven temperature by 25°F (14°C) and/or reduce baking time.
- Rolls are underbaked: Increase baking time by 2-3 minutes.
FAQ
- Can I freeze these? Yes, baked or unbaked rolls can be frozen. Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Can I use a different type of cookie butter? While Biscoff is recommended for its classic flavor, you can experiment with other cookie butters.
- What if I don’t have milk? You can substitute the milk with a little extra melted butter or even cream.
- Is the glaze necessary? No, the rolls are delicious without the glaze, but it certainly adds to the indulgence!
- Can I make these ahead of time? You can assemble the rolls the night before and bake them in the morning.
