Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/3 cup cookie butter, melted
Dough
- 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus about 1/2 cup as needed
- 4 1/2 teaspoons (2 packets) instant dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
Frosting & Topping
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, room temperature
- 1/4 cup cookie butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chopped cookies
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine 1 cup packed dark brown sugar, 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt. Mix well and set aside for later use.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 4 1/2 teaspoons instant dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon fine salt to evenly distribute the yeast and salt through the flour.
- Heat Wet Ingredients: Warm 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar together until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm but not hot. Pour this warm mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and stir to combine.
- Add Eggs and Form Dough: Add 2 large eggs one at a time into the mixture, stirring thoroughly after each addition until the dough becomes sticky. Knead the dough either by hand or with a mixer, adding additional flour, about a tablespoon at a time, until the dough feels tacky but not sticky.
- Rest the Dough: Allow the dough to rest for 10-20 minutes to improve elasticity and fermentation.
- Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 14 by 18 inches and about 1/2 cm thick, preparing for filling application.
- Apply Filling: Spread 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch bare edge. Sprinkle the prepared cinnamon-sugar filling over the buttered surface and drizzle 1/3 cup melted cookie butter on top.
- Roll and Cut: Carefully roll the dough tightly from the long edge to form a log. Seal the edge with a little water to prevent unraveling. Using unflavored dental floss, cut the roll into 12 equal pieces.
- Proof the Rolls: Place the cut rolls into a greased 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Let them proof for about 30 minutes at room temperature if baking immediately, or cover and refrigerate overnight for delayed baking.
- Preheat and Bake: Preheat oven to 360°F (180°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 26 to 30 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown on top.
- Prepare Frosting: Whip together 1/2 cup room temperature unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt. Gradually mix in 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
- Finish the Rolls: After baking, allow the rolls to cool for about 10 minutes. Spread the prepared frosting over the warm rolls, drizzle with 1/4 cup melted cookie butter, and sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped cookies on top for extra texture and flavor.
Notes
- To make dough handling easier, consider using a no-knead cinnamon rolls method if you prefer a simpler approach.
- If you prefer a stronger cookie butter flavor, feel free to increase the amount in the filling or drizzle.
- Cover leftover rolls tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving for best taste.
- Using room temperature eggs and butter helps achieve the perfect dough consistency and smooth frosting.
- Unflavored dental floss is ideal for cutting rolls evenly without squashing them.
