    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

    Very good! Easy to make and easy to modify seasonings for more savory tastes.

    This is a great recipe. Just like I remember from the bakery when I was a kid. Tonight I'm trying adding a little garlic powder to the dough.

    very tasty. I did need to add about 1/4 stick more butter in order to make the dough manageable. However, with a little more cayenne and the extra butter, these were phenomenal.

    This is HORRIBLE, it tasted very SALTY !!!! Dont try this because it is a waste of time, flour, cheese, and oven. I threw the whole batch in the trash after tasting one and it was so salty i even refused to let my boyfriend eat it. I dont know why they post this recipe on here and the batter came out bad, i couldnt pipe it out !!!! and i followed the recipe to the letter. Waste of my ingredients and money. This is my very first time tasting a cheese straw but i know if a food is good or bad. This one is horrible.

    made a batch this morning, very easy & very good. I went exactly by the recipe, not sure why others had problems but I didn't, turned out great. Next time I'll add some pepper jack in addition to the sharp just to give it a bit more bite.

    Not nearly cheesy enough...too much salt and too floury tasting. I use 1 stick butter, 1 3/4 cups flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne and 5 cups cheddar. 350 for 18-20 minutes. I think (not sure that this is from an old Mobile cookbook.

    These are great! My Grandma makes cheese straws, and I wanted to make some for her this time. My food processor is small, so I had to cut the recipe in half. I did keep the cayenne pepper at 1/4 tsp, added 1/4 tsp dry mustard, and used 3/4 tsp of garlic salt instead of regular salt. After I left this blend about half way through I added about 1/2 tbsp of finely chopped fresh rosemary and chives together from my garden, and WOW! It was wonderful! Thanks Paula!
