Southern Crispy Cheddar Straws

Step 1: Preheat

Heat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment.

Step 2: Cream

Beat the butter and cheddar together until well blended.

Step 3: Add Flour

Mix in the flour a little at a time until a soft dough forms.

Step 4: Shape

Pipe through a cookie press with a star tip into long strips, or roll and cut into thin sticks.

Step 5: Bake

Bake 12–15 minutes until lightly golden at the edges. Cool on the pan – they crisp as they cool.

Tips

  • Add a pinch of cayenne for a classic Southern kick.
  • Shred your own cheese for the best texture.

Storage

Airtight at room temperature up to a week.

FAQ
