Method
- Activate the Yeast: Mix the warm dairy-free milk and half of the brown sugar together. Sprinkle in the active dry yeast, give it a quick stir, and let sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, the other half of the brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, vanilla, and melted vegan butter. The dough should come together into a ball and might be slightly sticky to the touch.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes. Sprinkle an additional tablespoon of flour onto the dough at a time as you knead until the dough is soft and no longer sticky.
- Let Rise: Cover with a damp tea towel or paper towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 ½ hours until doubled in size.
- Roll out Dough: Once the dough has doubled in size, transfer the dough and shape it into a ball. Then, flatten it into a 6-inch diameter disk. Roll out into a 12” by 7” long rectangle.
- Spread Filling: Prepare the filling by combining the melted cookie butter, softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla in a small bowl. Spread the filling on the dough leaving a ½" border on all the edges. Sprinkle the crushed Biscoff cookies on top.
- Cut Rolls & Rise Again: Roll the dough into a log and cut into 1 ½" thick rolls. There should be 8 rolls. Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise for 20-30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20-23 minutes or until golden brown.
- Frost: While the rolls are baking, stir together the ingredients for the vegan cookie butter cream cheese icing in a small bowl. If the icing looks thick, add up to 2 more teaspoons of dairy-free milk. If the mixture looks runny, add 1-2 tablespoons of powdered sugar at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Let the buns cool slightly before spreading the frosting on top. You can also drizzle melted cookie butter on top and decorate with crushed Biscoff cookies.
