The Magic of Ted Lasso Shortbread Biscuits
What makes these ted lasso shortbread biscuits so special, you ask? Well, it’s the simplicity and love that go into making them. 🍰💕 They’re made with just a handful of ingredients – butter, icing sugar, vanilla, salt, and flour – but when combined, they create a biscuit that’s both melt-in-your-mouth and incredibly satisfying. It’s no wonder these biscuits have become so iconic on the show. They’re the perfect treat to share with friends or to enjoy with a cup of tea during a quiet moment. ☕️
Tips for Making the Best Ted Lasso Shortbread Biscuits
- Use High-Quality Butter 🧈: The key to a great shortbread is using good quality butter. This is what gives the biscuit its rich, buttery flavour and crumbly texture. Look for an unsalted butter with a high fat content – it’s worth it, I promise!
- Don’t Overmix the Dough 🍚: When adding the flour to your butter mixture, make sure to mix just until the dough comes together. Overmixing can make the biscuits tough instead of tender and crumbly.
- Chill the Dough ❄️: Chilling the dough before baking helps the biscuits hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much. It also helps enhance the flavour, making them even more delicious!
- Bake Until Just Golden 🌟: Keep an eye on the biscuits as they bake. You want them to be a light golden brown – this ensures they’re cooked through but still tender and melt-in-your-mouth.
- Add a Personal Touch 🎨: Want to make these biscuits truly your own? Try adding a bit of lemon zest for a fresh twist, or drizzle with chocolate once cooled for an extra touch of indulgence.
Serving and Pairing Suggestions
These ted lasso shortbread biscuits are incredibly versatile and can be served in a variety of ways. Here are a few of my favourite ideas:
- Classic with Tea ☕: There’s something so comforting about enjoying a biscuit with a cup of hot tea. It’s the perfect way to relax and unwind, whether you’re watching your favourite show or catching up with a friend.
- As a Dessert Topping 🍨: Crumble the shortbread over vanilla ice cream for an easy but decadent dessert. Add some fresh berries for a pop of colour and extra flavour!
- With a Cheese Board 🧀: For a sweet and savoury combo, serve these biscuits alongside a selection of cheeses. The buttery, slightly sweet biscuit pairs beautifully with sharp cheddar or creamy brie.

Method
- Kick things off by preheating your oven to a cozy 150°C.
- Grab a mixing bowl and cream together the butter and icing sugar until it’s looking light and fluffy – like a cloud on a sunny day!
- Stir in that dash of vanilla and pinch of salt. Mix it well, friends!
- Add in the flour and keep mixing until you’ve got yourself a nice dough.
- Press the dough into a 25 cm x 25 cm lined baking tin and let it chill in the freezer for 15 minutes. Patience is a virtue!
- Cut the dough into your desired cookie shapes and bake for 40 minutes or until they’re golden brown and tempting.
- Might need to give those cookies a quick recut while they’re hot – I did, and it was totally worth it.
- Let them cool a bit before you dive in. I know, the wait is tough but oh, so rewarding!

Is it SR or plain flour ?
Hi Vicki, thanks for asking. It’s plain flour. I’ve added it to the recipe.
I love your recipes but you never say what size pan or tray to use. I’m scared to make these in case I use the wrong size Could you please add the pan for a not confident baker
Hi Sue, thank you for the honest feedback. No need to feel scared. This recipe uses a 25 cm x 25 cm and I’ve added it to the recipe. Let me know how it turns out 🙂
I always get confused with icing sugar and pure icing….is this just icing sugar ?
Hi Susan. This recipe just uses regular icing sugar (sometimes called icing sugar mixture), which has a touch of cornflour through it. Pure icing sugar is the finer, additive free version and usually used for glossy icing or fondant work. For this shortbread, regular icing sugar is right, no need for the pure stuff.
Can I vacuum seal these so that they can store to up to a few months?
I haven’t tried vacuum sealing these Maya, so I honestly don’t know how they’d hold up over a few months. I did a quick Google search and apparently you can. Let me know how it goes if you try it.
