Last week I had a cooking day with my great nieces and nephews. A 9 year old and a 7 year old helped me make these and everyone loved them! I am definitely putting this recipe in my permanent collection and am planning to make it again soon!

These are very good even without the thyme. I agree with another review...chill after cutting and before twisting and they will hold their shape better. I highly recommend.

I made these for a New Year's Eve Party. They were easy and delicious. I have never worked w/ puff pastry before but Ina's instructions were right-on. I used the leftover Gruyere cheese to top off french onion soup on New Year's Day. Thanks for another great go-to recipe.

These are excellent! They were a huge hit at my Evening in Paris dinner party. They make a wonderful presentation and were loved by teens and adults. A definite keeper:

These are simple to make and so elegant. They are great with cocktails and are a go to appetizer for me!

I had just moved into a gated golf community. I liked my neighborhood and decided to host a "Ladies Cup of Cheer Party" for the women in my neighborhood in early December. I made several of Ina's recipes for that particular party but the cheese straws were the hit of the party. We are a very social community and if there is a party I have been told that I have to bring cheese straws. I have taught my dear neighbor who claims she cannot bake to make this recipe, my darling daughter-in-law and my dear friend in Dallas (over the telephone. I am totally lactose intolerant and cannot dare to eat a tiny bit of a cheese straw. I have to have my husband in the house to test if the cheese straws are done. It gives me such great pleasure to prepare an appetizer that my friends enjoy so much. I love watching Barefoot Contessa. Thank you Ina for helping me become a better home cook. Happy Holidays to you and Jeffrey.

Made this recipe and took it to church for our annual Thanksgiving carry-in. Everyone RAVED about them and Ina got all the credit!! I have created some more Barefoot Contessa fans......they are for sure going to start watching! I am a busy Grandma babysitting for the grands and they loved helping with this recipe.....had a great time and everyone loves these cheese straws. We don't eat biscuts anymore......they all want Ina's cheese straws! Thanks Ina....another hit in our kitchen.

I call these "Northern Cheese Straws" because they are so much better than the Southern ones I'm accustomed to. I dont twist mine and I used more thyme than what was stated. Way to go Ina!

Everyone liked them.
The good thing is you can make them in advance for get togethers and they still taste great.
Kids loved them too.

I added a bit of dried rosemary...yummy.
