Winner, winner, chicken dinner! These looked so good, I had to try them. No cheddar in the fridge, though. What I DID have was some mozz and parm, so I used that, added some granulated garlic, red pepper flakes and some of that generic Italian seasoning that's been sitting on the shelf for six months. Then rolled out and cut with a crinkle cutter. Fab-O. I might try more butter next time. The larger ones were less crispy and more "bready", but they were still great.

Thanks!

I made these for my husband’s birthday party. I did the habanero version, then a sharp cheddar with lots of black pepper and a little cayenne. So good and easy!!

I made two batches of these today for the super bowl and they were AMAZING! and so simple, even without a food processor. I wasn’t brave enough for the habanero, so instead just made cheddar cayenne and parmesan/mozzarella with rosemary and garlic. They were a big hit and disappeared so quickly! Thank you! Just like auntie used to make!

I just pulled these out of the oven and they’re so good. My grandmother made cheese straws when I was growing up and I’ve searched for a recipe like hers for years. These were just like I remember her making. I don’t have a food processor so that was a bit of a pain, but all the more reason for me to get one. :)

My friend Jane owns a gourmet shop here in Toronto and she cannot keep the shelf stocked with cheese straws. She sells out every single day.
