Cheese Straws - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. Cracker Barrel sharp cheese (red foil wrapper)
1 stick butter
1 tsp. salt
2 c. plain flour, unsifted
1/4 tsp. red pepper or cayenne pepper

Preparation

Grate cheese and butter.
Mix in flour, salt and pepper to form a soft dough.
Using the small star design of a crank-type cookie press, press the individual cheese straws onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 350\u00b0 until straws are hard.
If cheese straws spread out too much when cooked, add a little more flour for a firmer dough.
