1 3/4 cup flour
1/3 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 1/4 lbs. grated shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup softened butter
In a bowl add flour, salt, dry mustard and cayenne pepper--stir until mixed and set aside. In a mixer add the grated sharp cheddar cheese and softened butter--beat. Slowly add flour mixture to the cheese mixture--beat well. Dough should form a ball. Place mixer bowl containing dough in refrigerator for 15 minutes while preheating oven to 350 degrees. After dough has chilled, put it in a cookie gun and choose your shape (normally cheese straws are rectangular in shape and are about 3 inches long). Press dough through cookie gun on to greased cookie sheets. Bake 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees until the cheese straws are lightly browned and crispy.
