Ted Lasso Biscuits
We’ll admit it, the first time we watched Ted Lasso, We weren’t expecting to become obsessed with a biscuit. But those iconic pink box shortbread cookies? Completely unforgettable. There’s something so comforting about the daily ritual in the show — a small act of kindness wrapped in parchment paper. It reminded us of how powerful simple, homemade treats can be. Growing up, Buttery Shortbread was always the “special occasion” cookie in our house. Rich, tender, and made with love. So naturally, we had to recreate the famous Ted Lasso biscuits in our own kitchen. After a few test batches (and a lot of taste-testing), we found that the magic lies in simplicity — just five ingredients, perfectly balanced.

About Ted Lasso Biscuits
These Ted Lasso Biscuits are a classic shortbread-style cookie made with butter, powdered sugar, flour, salt, and vanilla extract. They’re pressed into a pan, baked gently, and sliced into thick squares. Unlike crispy cookies, these biscuits are soft and tender with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. They’re rich without being overwhelming and sweet without being cloying — the kind of treat that pairs perfectly with tea, coffee, or a quiet afternoon. The best part? No complicated techniques. Just simple baking done right.

Key Ingredients
- Butter – The heart of the recipe. Use high-quality butter for the richest flavor.
- Powdered Sugar – Creates a fine, delicate crumb and smooth sweetness.
- Salt – Balances the sweetness and enhances the buttery notes.
- All-Purpose Flour – Provides structure while keeping the biscuits soft.
- Vanilla Extract – Adds warmth and depth to the flavor profile.
How To Make Ted Lasso Biscuits
- Butter an 8-inch or 9-inch square metal baking pan.
- Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened butter on high speed until it’s light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes).
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until the mixture is pale and even fluffier.
- Add vanilla extract.
- Sift the flour and salt together. Turn your mixer to low and slowly add the flour mixture, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix, or they won’t be as tender!
- Pat the dough into your prepared pan so it’s about 1/2-inch thick. Use a piece of parchment paper or a flat measuring cup to smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Before putting the pan in the oven, use a sharp knife to slice the chilled dough into rectangles (Ted-style).
- Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the middle is firm.
- Let them cool completely in the pan before re-slicing along your lines and lifting them out.
- To go full Lasso, serve these in a small pink cardboard box lined with a little wax paper.
- Enjoy

Notes
- Use room temperature butter for smooth mixing.
- Do not overmix the dough; this keeps the texture tender.
