Here’s a helpful hint I saw online – Use a Play Doh Fun Factory toy instead of a cookie press!
I have an old Mirro cookie press I used to use, but it hurt my hands to turn it. I was shocked at how well the Play Doh toy worked – it’s messy, but you can take it apart for clean up. And it has the traditional star shape extruder. Totally worth the $5 I paid for it!

I made these before Christmas and was able to give them out as gifts. Everyone raved about them! Thanks for the recipe.

The recipe is super simple and it’s easy to adjust the heat factor depending on how much cayenne you use. They are crisp and melt in your mouth when you use the cookie press as suggested. I have also made them into small cookie-type rounds which yielded a softer, more cake-like texture at the recommended bake time. If you find that the rounds are too soft for your liking you can simply bake for longer and cool completely on a wire rack to crisp them up.

You will not find a better or more authentic recipe for cheese straws. I also recommend doubling the recipe as they will be eaten up faster than you can imagine.

I do not recommend substituting pre-packaged shredded cheese for the freshly grated cheddar. There really is a difference in the results! Save some cash and get a good arm workout in the process.
