FRENCH COOKING: TED LASSO'S SHORTBREAD COOKIES

There are about a million reasons to fall for accidental British football manager Ted Lasso whether it's his unwavering optimism or his snappy yet wise one-liners. But today that reason introduces me to one of the best cookies (or biscuits) I've ever had.

“Biscuits with the Boss” has become an almost ceremonial event on the show with Ted sharing homemade cookies with his boss Rebecca in exchange for some quality time together. That pale pink box of goodies is like a trusted companion in every episode. Ever since Season 1 of Ted Lasso (on Apple TV+) I’ve been dying to know the magic behind Ted’s secret shortbread biscuit recipe and thanks to Salt Harvest Creatives’ copycat version I finally got to taste it for myself.

The real beauty behind these cookies is their simplicity. The butter sugar and vanilla work in perfect harmony to create a delicate balance of flaky and tender. In fact this recipe was incredibly uncomplicated requiring only five ingredients. The cookies are drier than you might be used to from a traditional sugar cookie but all the better to enjoy with a pot of hot water (or coffee if you prefer).
