These comfort food favorites from American baking tradition are just right for lazy weekends or when company drops by.

- Step 1:
- Mix warm milk with yeast and a bit of sugar in a small bowl. Wait 5 minutes till it gets bubbly.
- Step 2:
- Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a big bowl. Add your yeast mix, melted butter, water, and egg. Stir until you get a soft dough ball.
- Step 3:
- Work the dough with your hands for 5-7 minutes until it feels smooth. Cover it and let it grow for an hour until it's twice as big.
- Step 4:
- Stir together soft Biscoff spread, soft butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl until creamy.
- Step 5:
- Flatten your dough into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Spread your filling mix all over it.
- Step 6:
- Starting with the long edge, roll the dough up snugly and slice into 12 pieces. Put them in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Step 7:
- Let rolls puff up for 30 minutes. Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Step 8:
- Cook the rolls for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden.
- Step 9:
- Mix soft cream cheese, Biscoff spread, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Add milk bit by bit until it's smooth enough to drizzle.
- Step 10:
- Pour the frosting over your hot cinnamon rolls.
- Eat them hot for maximum yumminess. They go great with a cup of coffee or tea.
- Keep any leftovers in a sealed container in your fridge for up to 3 days.
- Your milk should feel warm like bathwater, not hot, or you'll kill the yeast.
- Don't skimp on kneading time if you want fluffy rolls.
