CHEDDAR CHEESE STRAWS

1 lb sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground red pepper

Let cheese stand at room temperature for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Process cheese, flour, and remaining ingredients in a food processor about 30 seconds or until mixture forms a ball.

Fit cookie press with a star-shaped or sawtooth disk following the manufacturer's instructions. 

Working quickly, press the dough about 2-inches apart, onto ungreased baking sheets. Score dough at 2-inch intervals using a sharp knife.

Bake at 375 degrees 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Carefully separate hot cheese straws along the scored lines and remove to wire racks to cool.

Yield: Approximately 8 dozen.
