Description

These Ted Lasso Biscuits are buttery, tender shortbread cookies with a delicate hint of vanilla and almond extracts. Perfectly sweet and crisp on top with a melt-in-your-mouth texture, these biscuits are inspired by the iconic treat from the beloved TV series. They’re easy to make and ideal for sharing with friends, a comforting snack, or a delightful accompaniment to tea or coffee.


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (for topping)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup high-quality unsalted butter, room temperature


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring there is a 1-inch overhang on two sides to allow for easy removal of the baked shortbread.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  3. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the vanilla and almond extracts along with the room temperature unsalted butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture takes on a coarse breadcrumb texture.
  4. Press Dough and Chill: Firmly press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the coarse sugar over the top and gently press it into the dough. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up before baking.
  5. Bake the Biscuits: Bake the shortbread for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is beginning to turn a golden brown color. This ensures a crisp top with a tender crumb inside.
  6. Cool and Slice: After baking, allow the shortbread to rest outside the oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the shortbread out of the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Cut into 12 pieces or your preferred size.
  7. Serve: Let the biscuits cool completely before serving to ensure they hold their shape and texture.

Notes

  • Using high-quality unsalted butter will significantly impact the flavor and texture of your biscuits.
  • Chilling the dough before baking helps prevent spreading and creates a better texture.
  • The coarse sugar topping adds a pleasant crunch and sweet finish to the biscuits.
  • Store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a light dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
