I thought they tasted good, but two other people didn't care for them. I did add a tiny bit of garlic and left out the cayenne pepper. I could barely get it to squeeze out of the bag so I hand rolled it. They flattened out in the oven and looked more like cheese bread sticks. Oh and hand mixer does not work. I put the mixture inside the plastic bag and smashed it together and that worked good.

My family loved these! I did add 1 cup grated romano cheese to the dough and also sprinkled some on top of the straws prior to cooking..
