1 Video | Photo: Zesty Cheese Straws Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
In a food processor, add the butter, cheese, flour, salt and cayenne and process until a smooth dough is formed. Scoop it into a cookie press, fitted with a flat ridged tip. Pipe the dough in 2-inch strips onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. (Alternatively, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes and roll on a lightly floured surface into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Cut into smaller rectangles, about 2 by 3-inches, with a pizza wheel or sharp knife.) Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to racks to cool.

Great flavor, but I can't get them to come out crispy. I have tried this recipe a couple of times, even left them in the oven longer. What am I doing wrong???

Great recipe !!! This was my first time making cheese straws . I rolled them out about an 1/8 of a inch thick and used a small star cookie cutter.
They turned out great and tasted great too !!

I pretty much followed this recipe, only adding 1/2 tsp colemans mustard powder, a beaten egg & a splash of milk. I did this as these few ingredients were mentioned in other recipes. They were really tasty cheese straws & sprinkling abit of extra cheese on top when popping in the oven, made them even cheesier......lovely xx
