You know your girl loves pimiento cheese, so I decided to give my spin to this classic Southern snack. A cheese straw is basically a cracker. Here, the dough is piped into skinny strips before being baked. They're great to make as an appetizer or even for gift giving around the holidays.

Directions
Special equipment:
a pastry bag fitted with a star tip (B127 tip)
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine the butter, extra-sharp Cheddar, smoked Cheddar, House Seasoning and cayenne pepper in a food processor and pulse until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes. Sift together the flour and baking powder and add to the food processor. Pulse until combined. Add the pimientos and pimiento juice. Add 2 tablespoons of water and pulse until the mixture is smooth, adding an additional 2 tablespoons of water if needed to reach a pipe-able consistency.
Spoon the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe into 3-inch pieces on the prepared baking sheets. Freeze for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake the cheese straws, rotating the pans halfway through, until they are crisp and cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, then remove from the baking sheets to wire racks to cool. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
Miss Brown’s House Seasoning:
