All Things Cookie Butter

For those new to the world of cookie butter, or those who simply can’t get enough, let’s dive into what makes this ingredient so special and perfect for our rolls.

What it is: Cookie butter is a delightful, creamy spread made from spiced speculoos cookies. These cookies, originally from Belgium and the Netherlands, are known for their distinct notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. When ground into a smooth paste, the result is a velvety spread with a warm, caramel-like, and deeply cinnamon-y flavor profile that is utterly addictive.

Where to find it: This beloved spread has become widely available. You can typically find it in most major grocery stores, usually located near the peanut butter and other nut/seed spreads. Popular brands include Biscoff (Lotus Bakeries) and Trader Joe’s (their version is explicitly called Speculoos Cookie Butter). You can also find various brands online from retailers like Amazon, offering a convenient way to get your hands on this delicious ingredient.

Why it makes these rolls special: When incorporated into these cinnamon rolls, cookie butter works magic. As the rolls bake, the cookie butter filling melts and seeps into the dough, creating an irresistibly gooey, moist, and tender center. This process infuses every layer with its unique spiced caramel flavor, transforming a classic into something truly extraordinary. It’s similar to how the filling in my Biscoff stuffed brownies creates a decadent surprise!

Why These Cookie Butter Rolls Stand Out

In a world full of cinnamon roll recipes, what makes these Cookie Butter Rolls truly exceptional? It’s the harmonious blend of familiar comfort and unique flavor. We start with a perfectly soft, fluffy, and slightly chewy dough – the hallmark of a great cinnamon roll. Then, we elevate it with layers of a rich, spiced cookie butter filling that includes crushed Biscoff cookies for an added layer of texture and intensified flavor.

The genius of this recipe lies in its thoughtful use of cookie butter at multiple stages:

  • In the Dough: A touch of cookie butter in the dough itself contributes to its tender crumb and subtle spiced base.
  • In the Filling: The star of the show, a generous layer of creamy cookie butter mixed with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon, ensures an incredibly moist and flavorful swirl.
  • On Top Before Baking: Adding dollops of cookie butter on top before baking creates pockets of molten, caramelized goodness that melt into the rolls, ensuring maximum gooeyness.
  • In the Glaze: A smooth, pourable glaze made with cookie butter completes the experience, blanketing each roll in a sweet, spiced finish that drips into every nook and cranny.

This multi-faceted approach ensures that the distinct, comforting flavor of cookie butter shines through in every aspect of these rolls, making them a truly unforgettable treat for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

Achieving bakery-quality cookie butter rolls relies on using the right ingredients and understanding their role. Here are some key notes to help you succeed:

Bowls of ingredients for cookie butter cinnamon rolls, labeled for clarity.
All the essential ingredients neatly laid out for making the cookie butter rolls.

Bread flour: This type of flour is absolutely crucial for achieving the signature chewy, yet tender, texture that makes these cinnamon rolls so satisfying. Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which means it develops more gluten. This gluten network gives the dough its elasticity and structure, allowing it to rise beautifully and create that perfect, fluffy, and slightly chewy crumb. While you can substitute with all-purpose flour in a pinch, be aware that your rolls may be noticeably less tender and lack the desirable chewiness. For the best results, stick with bread flour!

Heavy cream: Using heavy cream in the dough contributes significantly to the rolls’ richness and incredibly moist texture. Its higher fat content creates a more luxurious and tender crumb. If you don’t have heavy cream on hand, you can substitute with half-and-half, or even use all regular whole milk. However, be prepared for a slight difference in the final texture; the rolls might be a bit less rich and moist than if made with heavy cream.

Biscoff cookie butter: Biscoff is the most common and widely recognized brand for cookie butter, known for its consistent quality and delightful spiced flavor. If you can’t find Biscoff, look for a similar speculoos spread. Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter is an excellent alternative. While the flavor profile might vary slightly between brands, they generally offer the same warm, spiced characteristics. For a completely different but equally delicious experience, you could try my chocolate rolls, which use a hazelnut spread!

Biscoff cookies: These crunchy, spiced cookies are integral to the filling, providing both a textural contrast and an intensified cookie butter flavor. When crushed, they add a delightful crunch that complements the gooey filling perfectly. If Biscoff cookies are unavailable, you can substitute them with any similar spiced cookie, such as ginger snaps. Keep in mind that ginger snaps will impart a stronger ginger flavor, so expect a slight difference in the overall taste of your rolls. For a different twist, plain shortbread cookies could also work, though they lack the signature spice.

Room Temperature Ingredients: Pay close attention to ingredient temperatures, especially for butter, milk, cream, and eggs. Room temperature ingredients emulsify better, create a smoother dough, and allow the yeast to activate more effectively, leading to a superior rise and texture. For butter, ideally, it should be cool room temperature (around 64°-68°F) for the filling to prevent leakage during baking.

Tips for Perfect Cookie Butter Rolls

Mastering these Cookie Butter Rolls is all about technique and a few key tips:

  • Accurate Measuring: Baking is a science, and precision matters. Always use a kitchen scale to measure dry ingredients like flour for the most accurate results. If using measuring cups, use the “spoon and level” method: fluff the flour, spoon it into the cup, then level off with a straight edge. Never scoop directly from the bag, as this compacts the flour and leads to using too much.
  • The Power of Tangzhong: Don’t skip this step! The tangzhong (a cooked flour and water paste) is the secret to incredibly soft, moist, and fluffy rolls that stay fresh longer. It pre-gelatinizes the starches in the flour, allowing them to absorb more liquid, resulting in a more hydrated and tender dough.
  • Proper Kneading: Kneading develops the gluten, which is essential for the structure and chewiness of your rolls. Knead until the dough is smooth, elastic, and passes the windowpane test (you can stretch a small piece thin enough to see light through it without tearing). If the dough feels sticky, add a very small amount of flour (half a tablespoon at a time) until it’s tacky but not sticky.
  • Warm Rising Environment: Yeast loves warmth! Find a cozy, draft-free spot for your dough to rise. This could be a slightly warmed oven (turned off!), near a sunny window, or even in your microwave (again, turned off) with a cup of hot water for ambient warmth. Proper rising is key to light, airy rolls.
  • Cool Room Temperature Butter for Filling: Ensure your butter for the filling is at a cool room temperature (64°-68°F). If it’s too soft or melted, it will leak out of the rolls during baking, leading to a dry filling and messy pan.
  • Don’t Overbake: Overbaking is the enemy of gooey rolls! Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature. For perfectly gooey centers, aim for 180°F. If you prefer a more set roll, bake until 190°F.
  • Glaze While Warm: Pouring the cookie butter glaze over warm rolls allows it to melt beautifully and seep into every crevice, creating that irresistible gooey top.

Following these tips will ensure your Cookie Butter Rolls are nothing short of perfection!

Recipe Instructions

Let’s walk through the steps to create these incredible cookie butter rolls. Read through all instructions before you begin to ensure a smooth baking process.

Making the Dough

Step 1: Make the tangzhong. This is where the magic begins for an incredibly soft and fluffy texture, a technique I also use for my coffee cinnamon rolls. In a small saucepan, whisk together the water and bread flour until smooth. Cook this mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 4-5 minutes until it thickens into a paste-like slurry, resembling mashed potatoes. Immediately scrape it into a separate bowl to cool. This pre-gelatinizes the starches, allowing the dough to retain more moisture, resulting in a tender crumb and extended freshness.

Step 2: Combine the wet and dry ingredients. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine the bread flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and fine sea salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together briefly. Then, add the heavy cream, whole milk, large egg, vanilla bean paste (or extract), the cooled tangzhong paste, and the initial 1/3 cup of cookie butter. It’s best to measure your ingredients using a kitchen scale for precision.

Step 3: Knead to a rough dough. Start kneading on low speed using the dough hook attachment. The mixture will begin to come together and form a rough, shaggy dough ball. Continue kneading for a few minutes until all the ingredients are just combined and a cohesive, albeit still rough, dough ball forms around the hook.

Step 4: Knead until smooth and elastic. With the mixer still running on low speed, begin adding the softened unsalted butter, one half-tablespoon at a time. Allow each piece of butter to fully incorporate into the dough before adding the next. This slow incorporation is crucial for developing a rich, smooth dough. Once all the butter is added, continue kneading for another 8-10 minutes. The dough should transform from rough to beautifully smooth, elastic, and soft, feeling tacky to the touch but never sticky. If it feels too sticky, add a very small amount of bread flour (about half a tablespoon) and continue kneading until the desired consistency is reached. The dough should pass the “windowpane test,” meaning you can stretch a small piece thin enough to see light through it without tearing.

Step 5: Rest the dough. Carefully remove the dough from the mixer bowl. On a lightly floured surface, gently form the dough into a smooth round ball. Return it to the clean mixing bowl, then cover the top tightly with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. Set the bowl aside in a warm, draft-free place to rest for approximately 30 minutes. This short rest allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out.

Preparing the Filling and Assembling the Rolls

Step 6: Make the cookie butter filling. While your dough is resting, prepare the star of the show – the rich and spiced cookie butter filling. In a medium bowl, combine the 1/2 cup unsalted butter (at a cool room temperature, crucial for preventing leakage), the 2/3 cup of crushed Biscoff cookies, 2/3 cup of packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup of cookie butter, and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Mix all these ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined and form a thick, cohesive paste. Set this delightful filling aside until your dough is ready.

Step 7: Spread the filling across the dough. Lightly flour your work surface and your rolling pin. Take the rested dough and roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 15×21 inches, with the longest side facing you. Ensure the thickness is even across the entire surface. Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, evenly dollop and spread the prepared cookie butter filling mixture across the entire surface of the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border clean at the top long edge. This clean edge will help seal the roll.

Step 8: Roll and cut the dough. Starting from the long edge closest to you, begin to tightly roll the dough away from you. Aim for a snug roll, but avoid rolling it so tightly that the filling squeezes out. Continue rolling until you reach the clean border at the top, then press gently to seal the edge firmly to the roll. Once rolled, use a sharp knife, unflavored dental floss, or a pizza cutter to cut the log into twelve equal strips, each approximately 1 3/4 inches wide.

Step 9: Let the cinnamon rolls rise. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. Carefully arrange the cut cookie butter rolls in the prepared pan, leaving a little space between each one to allow for expansion. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Place the pan in a warm, draft-free spot to rise for 1-2 hours, or until the rolls have visibly doubled in size and are puffy. While they rise, preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C).

Baking and Glazing

Step 10: Top the rolls with cookie butter and bake. Once your cookie butter rolls have doubled in size and are looking beautifully puffy, remove the plastic wrap. Scoop approximately one tablespoon of additional cookie butter onto the top of each roll. This will melt into glorious pockets of gooeyness during baking. Carefully place the baking pan into your preheated oven and bake for 25-35 minutes. Baking time can vary, so the best way to determine doneness is by checking the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer. For perfectly gooey rolls, the center should read 180°F. If you prefer them a little more done, bake until they reach 190°F. The tops should be golden brown. Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack while you prepare the glaze.

Step 11: Make the glaze. While the rolls are cooling slightly, prepare the irresistible cookie butter glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup of cookie butter, 1/4 cup of whole milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla until smooth. Gradually add the 1 cup of powdered sugar, mixing until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. If you prefer a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar; for a thinner glaze, add a touch more milk. Alternatively, if you’re a fan of a classic frosting, you can make a delightful cream cheese buttercream frosting!

Step 12: Frost the tops of the rolls. After the rolls have cooled on the wire rack for about 15 minutes (they should still be warm but not scorching hot), generously pour the prepared cookie butter glaze over the tops of all the cinnamon rolls. Allow the luscious glaze to melt and drip down into the warm, soft centers. The warmth of the rolls will help the glaze spread evenly and soak in. Serve immediately and revel in the pure joy of these homemade cookie butter rolls! Enjoy every sweet, spiced, and gooey bite!

Storage and Reheating

To enjoy these delectable cookie butter rolls even after the first day, proper storage and reheating are key:

Storage: Leftover rolls should be stored in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out. They can be kept at room temperature for 1-2 days, especially if your home is cool. For longer storage, up to 3-4 days, I recommend refrigerating them. Make sure they are completely cooled before sealing them in the container to avoid condensation.

Reheating: For the best experience, gently reheat your leftover cookie butter rolls before serving.

  • Microwave: For a single roll, microwave on high for 15-30 seconds, or until warm and soft. Be careful not to overheat, as this can make them tough.
  • Oven: To reheat multiple rolls, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rolls in an oven-safe dish and cover them loosely with aluminum foil to prevent the glaze from burning and to help retain moisture. Heat for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. The foil helps steam them slightly, restoring their gooey texture.

Reheating will bring back much of their original softness and gooey charm, making them almost as good as fresh from the oven!

FAQs and Troubleshooting

Have questions or running into a snag? Here are some common FAQs and troubleshooting tips for your cookie butter rolls:

Is Biscoff the same thing as cookie butter?

Yes, essentially! Biscoff is the brand name of Lotus Bakeries’ popular spiced speculoos cookies, and they are also the most well-known brand that produces cookie butter spread. So, Biscoff is a specific brand of cookie butter.

Where can I buy cookie butter?

You can easily find cookie butter in the peanut butter and spreads aisle of most major grocery stores. Trader Joe’s also sells its highly popular version, often referred to as Speculoos Cookie Butter. Additionally, it’s readily available online through retailers like Amazon.

Why did the filling leak out during baking?

The most common reason for filling leakage is butter that is too soft or melted when preparing the filling. The butter in your filling should be at a cool room temperature, ideally between 64°-68°F (18°-20°C). If it’s too warm, it becomes too liquid during baking and seeps out. Another reason could be rolling the dough too loosely, not properly sealing the edges, or having too much filling for the size of the rolls.

What’s the best way to know they’re done baking?

The most accurate way to check for doneness is to insert an instant-read thermometer into the center of one of the middle rolls. For wonderfully gooey rolls, the internal temperature should read 180°F (82°C). If you prefer a slightly firmer, more “done” texture, let them bake until the centers reach 190°F (88°C). The tops should also be golden brown.

Can I make these cookie butter rolls ahead of time?

Absolutely! You have a couple of options for making them ahead. You can prepare the dough through step 8 (cutting the rolls) and then tightly cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (up to 12-18 hours). The next morning, remove them from the fridge and let them come to room temperature and rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (this may take 2-3 hours), then proceed with baking. Alternatively, you can bake them completely, let them cool, and then store them as described in the storage section, reheating them when ready to serve.

My dough isn’t rising, what went wrong?

Several factors can affect dough rising. First, ensure your yeast is fresh and active. If using instant yeast, you don’t need to proof it, but if using active dry, proof it in warm milk (around 105-115°F) with a pinch of sugar before adding. Second, make sure your liquids (milk, cream) are at room temperature – too hot will kill the yeast, too cold will inhibit it. Third, ensure your rising environment is warm and draft-free. Cold temperatures will significantly slow or prevent the rise. Lastly, check if you added too much flour, which can make the dough dense and hard to rise, or too much salt, which inhibits yeast activity.

Notes

*Measure your dry ingredients properly. This is my #1 baking tip! Do not ever scoop a measuring cup into your flour, as this always leads to using too much flour. Instead, use the spoon-level method. This means fluffing the flour first, then spooning it into your measuring cup/spoon. For the BEST results, use a kitchen scale!*

Storage/Reheating: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days, or in the fridge for up to 4 days. Before serving, reheat them in the microwave (15-30 seconds per roll) or 350°F (175°C) oven (10-15 minutes, covered with foil) until warm.
