Southern Cheese Straws

This is a classic southern recipe, they're great for entertaining or just snackin. I made a batch of these today and they're already almost gone!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp seasoned salt
• 1/8 or 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, depending on how spicy you like, or you can leave out completely

Directions:

1. preheat oven to 350 
2. Combine flour, salts and pepper in small bowl, set aside
3. In large bowl beat together cheese and butter
4. Slowly blend flour into cheese mixture, mix it for about 5 minutes- it should look like a bread dough
5. Using a cookie press with a star tip place 3'' long strips on an un-greased cookie sheet. ***
6. bake 15-20 minutes (I leave mine in 20 minutes so their crispy like a cracker)

** if you dont have a cookie press, use a zip lock bag and cut the corner off
