Preparation Phase & Tools to Use

Before you get started, let’s talk prep. Making these cinnamon rolls from scratch is totally worth it, and having the right tools makes the process smooth and satisfying:

  • Stand Mixer with Dough Hook: This saves your arms and helps knead the dough into a perfect elastic texture.
  • Rolling Pin: Essential for evenly rolling out the dough, ensuring every roll is packed with filling.
  • Sharp Knife or Floss: Floss cuts clean cinnamon rolls without squishing the dough.
  • 9×13 Baking Dish: Provides the perfect space for the rolls to expand and bake evenly.
  • Small Saucepan: To melt and drizzle the Biscoff cookie butter easily over the rolls.
  • Mixing Bowls: You’ll need a few to keep the dough, crumble, and filling organized.

With everything set and measured, you’ll move through each step smoothly—and your kitchen will smell like heaven in no time.

Each ingredient plays a key role in building flavor and structure in this dreamy dessert. Here’s what you need:

  • All-Purpose Flour: The base of our soft and fluffy dough.
  • Granulated Sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness to the dough.
  • Instant Yeast: Helps the rolls rise beautifully.
  • Whole Milk: Warm milk activates the yeast and enriches the dough.
  • Unsalted Butter: Adds richness to both dough and filling.
  • Eggs: For structure and extra softness in the rolls.
  • Salt: Balances sweetness and enhances flavor.
  • Brown Sugar: The core of the cinnamon-sugar swirl and crumble.
  • Ground Cinnamon: Classic warmth and spice in every layer.
  • Biscoff Cookie Butter Spread: The star ingredient, lending that irresistible speculoos flavor.
  • Crushed Biscoff Cookies: Adds crunch and extra cookie flavor to the topping.
  • Powdered Sugar (optional): Can be added for an extra-sweet glaze, if desired.

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Warm the milk to about 110°F and combine it in the bowl of your stand mixer with sugar and yeast. Let it sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes. Add eggs, melted butter, flour, and salt. Use the dough hook to knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Step 2: Roll and Fill

Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread a generous layer of Biscoff cookie butter over the surface. Sprinkle evenly with a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon.

Step 3: Roll Up and Slice

Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Use unflavored dental floss or a sharp knife to slice into even rolls. Place them in a buttered 9×13 baking dish.

Step 4: Second Rise

Cover the rolls and let them rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. The aroma will be unreal.

While warm, drizzle melted Biscoff cookie butter over the top of the rolls. Add crushed Biscoff cookies for a crumbly finish.


Fresh from the oven, these cinnamon rolls are at their gooey, melty best. Serve them warm for the ultimate indulgence—perfect for brunch, holiday breakfasts, or a special weekend treat. Pair with a hot latte, chai tea, or even a cold glass of milk for a comforting combo.

If you have leftovers (a big “if”), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. To reheat, microwave a roll for 15-20 seconds or warm them in the oven at 300°F for 10 minutes. You can also freeze unglazed rolls for up to 2 months. Just thaw overnight and reheat before glazing.


Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when the dough has risen enough?

It should double in size and look puffed. Gently press the dough with your finger—if the indentation remains, it’s ready.

Can I use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast?

Yes! Just be sure to proof it in warm milk with sugar until it becomes foamy. It may take slightly longer to rise than instant yeast.

Can I make these cinnamon rolls the night before?

Absolutely. Assemble the rolls and place them in the baking dish, then cover and refrigerate overnight. Bring them to room temperature for 30–45 minutes before baking.

You can substitute with another speculoos spread or even use Nutella for a chocolate twist—but the Biscoff flavor is what makes these shine.

Why use floss instead of a knife to cut the rolls?

Floss creates a clean slice without compressing the dough, so your rolls keep their beautiful swirl and fluffy rise.

Can I skip the crushed cookies on top?

Definitely! They’re optional but add a great texture and extra cookie punch.
