Edwina Walker's Cheese Straws
|
2 sticks of softened butter
8 oz. grated extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 1/2 c. cake flour
With electric mixer, blend softened butter and
grated cheese into a creamy mixture.
Add salt and cayenne pepper.
Then slowly blend in flour to create a doughlike mixture.
Place dough a batch at a time into cookie press.
Using the star disc, squeeze out on 13x18" baking sheet
in 5 or 6 rows (that don't touch each other)
and cut into about 30 3" straws.
Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake in preheated 350F oven for about 15 min.
Do NOT brown, it's easy to overcook.
Makes about 150.
