Not only do they make a good afternoon snack but they're a crowd pleaser at our parties too. Next time there's a bake sale, I'm making these Cheese Straws. INGREDIENTS:
PREPARATION:In a small bowl, combine flour, salt and other spices with a wire whisk. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, stand mixer is preferred, cream cheese and butter. Gradually add flour mixture. Combine completely. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Allow dough to rest for 10 to 15 minutes in refrigerator. Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets. Press dough through a cookie press onto prepared baking sheets. Bake cheese straws for 20 to 30 minutes or until crisp and lightly brown. Store in tightly covered container. These may be frozen with wax paper between layers. User Reviews  Back to School Snacks and Party Favorites |
