Past failures taught me the error in putting warm shortbread dough in the oven. I also chilled all the cookies before baking. This gave the resulting cookie a similar height as the other two, so they looked the same for taste testing purposes. I packed the King Arthur cookie dough into 1 cake pan, not the two it called for. That works with a chewy traybake such as brownies better than it does a crumbly cookie which bakes for a long time at low temperature. Second, square pans promote dry, overcooked corners. First, consistency 2 out of 3 recipes called for a round pan, so I made the third in the same one. I baked all the cookies in a 9” round cake pan, for several reasons. There were a few minor technical modifications based on my own baking experience. I measured volumetrically or by mass depending on the recipe. The King Arthur shortbread cookie is made with vanilla and almond. For example, I didn’t use any extracts in the Ted Lasso recipe.
But these are the sacrifices we make in the name of cookies science. Their shortbread is a classic example of this, calling for additional ingredients and a more complicated baking process that takes several hours. On the other hand, they’re hidden behind a paywall, oftentimes call for items not in your pantry, and occasionally turn a baking sprint into a marathon. ATK’s recipes are always thoroughly tested, clearly explained, and delicious. Finally, we have America’s Test Kitchen “ Best Shortbread” recipe. Next, the King Arthur Shortbread refines things slightly with flavor extracts. This is the most basic recipe you’ll find for a shortbread cookie and contains only four ingredients. But because I am also kind and there’s nothing worse than having to read 47,882 words before finding the recipe, I’m putting them right here in paragraph two. Now, first off, I’m going to use “biscuit” in reference to the Ted Lasso baked good and “cookies” for the others because I am a fickle man and I know there’s at least four of you for whom it will be fingernails on the chalkboard of your soul. And how better to determine its quality than by comparing it to two classic shortbread recipes in a group taste test? So when fantastic online cooking resource Kitchn posted the “official from Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso” shortbread biscuit recipe I went for it faster than Rupert Mannion hits on a uni student. It’s like a cookie for your soul that you can eat over and over again. Like most anxiety-ridden adults with too many streaming choices, I’m also a Ted Lasso superfan. Sweet or savory, bread or desserts if it’s made of carbohydrates, I am down to clown.
My expanding waistline speaks to the results. So, like half the American population, I turned to baking. I spent months working from home, teaching elementary school skills to my kids, and resisting a swan dive into alcoholism.
