How to Make Cheddar Straws
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Set aside.
- In a food processor or stand mixer, combine 2 cups shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until smooth.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the cheese and butter mixture, mixing until well combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly.
- If using a cookie press, fill and use the desired straw attachment. If not, roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into small strips (approximately 3-4 inches long).
- Place the straws on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy!
