Inspired by the biscuits from Ted Lasso, this shortbread cookie recipe turns a few simple ingredients into something much greater than the sum of its parts. Properly creaming the butter and sugar, using a lower baking temperature, and carefully balancing the sugar and salt creates a tender cookie with a rich butter flavor and an almost creamy texture.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226 grams) salted Kerrygold butter, softened, plus extra for buttering the pan
  • ¾ cup (90 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1½ cups (180 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50 grams) fine almond flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Lightly butter an 8x8-inch metal baking pan. Cut a piece of parchment to fit inside the pan, leaving an overhang to create a sling for easy removal.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl halfway through. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt and continue to beat until the mixture is very light in color and fluffy, about 2 minutes more.
  3. To the bowl, add the all-purpose flour and almond flour and mix just until the dough is fully combined.
  4. Transfer the shortbread dough to the prepared pan. Using a small offset spatula, spread it into an even layer, taking care to press it into the corners and smooth the top to remove any air bubbles.
  5. Bake until the edges of the shortbread are golden brown and the center is set with a matte appearance, about 45 to 55 minutes.
  6. Let the shortbread cool completely in the pan, at least 2 hours.
  7. Use the parchment sling to remove the shortbread from the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Using a long serrated knife, slice into approximately 1-by-2½-inch rectangles.
  8. Store the shortbread in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 to 5 days.

Notes

For best results, avoid making substitutions. With so few ingredients, even small changes can affect the final flavor and texture.

Weighing your flour is the most accurate way to measure. If you aren't going to weigh it, make sure to spoon it into the cup, and then level it off.
