Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Put the softened cheese and butter in the bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer. Using the heaviest mixer paddle attachment, beat until the mixture has the consistency of whipped cream, 15 to 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, sift 3 cups of the flour with the salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and garlic powder. Gradually add the seasoned flour to the cheese mixture by large spoonfuls, beating well after each addition. Add the remaining 1 cup unseasoned flour incrementally until the dough is somewhat stiff but still soft enough to be pushed through a cookie press; you may not need to add all the flour.
- Lightly spray 4 cookie sheets with cooking spray. Put a portion of the dough into a cookie press fitted with the star tube and press the dough onto a cookie sheet in long strips that run the length of the pan. Repeat until the pan is full. Bake until straws are golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.
- With your hands or a sharp knife, break or cut the long strips into 3-inch lengths. Use a flat, thin spatula or an egg turner to remove the cheese strips from the pan. Allow them to cool on a wire rack. When they are completely cool, serve or store in a tightly covered container.

CHEESE STRAWS
This one earned a higher place on the BabyCakes Piece of Cake scale simply because it requires pastry assemblage, which always complicates matters. It might take a little while for you sophomores to get your rhythm down, and your first few straws will probably look more like craggy witch fingers, but it's all going to pay off if you stick with it. Once it does, you should host a dinner party and set these out early by the pintful.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3/4 cup rice flour, the all-purpose flour, the cornmeal, arrowroot, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Add the coconut oil, 1 1/4 cups of the cheese, and the agave nectar and stir (the mixture will be very dry). Slowly add up to 3/4 cup water until the dough is sticky. Divide the dough in half.
- Dust a clean work surface with 1/4 cup of the remaining rice flour and place half the dough on top. Sprinkle the top of the dough generously with more rice flour and roll it out into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese on half the rectangle. Flip the bare dough on top of it so that the cheese is sandwiched between two layers of dough. Cut the dough into 4-inch-long x 1-inch-wide strips and pinch the open sides closed. Transfer to one of the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the strips.
- Bake for 10 minutes, rotate, and continue baking until the cheese straws are golden brown, about 8 minutes more.

CHEESE STRAWS
I love cheese! I would eat a piece of Cheddar cheese over a piece of chocolate cake any day. That probably makes me a little weird, but if you love cheese like I do, you'll love these cheese straws. My mom used to make them for baby showers and wedding receptions. In 1991, the year my career started to really take off, she made them for me to give as Christmas gifts to everyone who had been so supportive. We laughed about how these cheesy treats were baked in a small kitchen in Monticello, Georgia, and ended up on the desks of some of the biggest movers and shakers in Nashville.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Put the softened cheese and butter in the bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer. Using the heaviest mixer attachment, beat the cheese and butter until the mixture has the consistency of whipped cream, about 30 minutes.
- On a sheet of waxed paper, sift 3 cups of the flour with the salt, black pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder. Gradually add the seasoned flour to the cheese mixture by large spoonfuls, beating well after each addition. Add the unseasoned flour until the dough is somewhat stiff but still soft enough to be pushed through a cookie press; you may not need to add all of the flour.
- Lightly spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Put a portion of the dough into a cookie press fitted with the star tube and press the dough onto the cookie sheet in long strips that run the length of the pan (see Note). Bake for 20 minutes. The cheese straws should be golden brown and crisp. With a sharp knife, cut the long strips into 3-inch lengths. Use a flat, thin spatula or egg turner to remove the cheese straws from the pan. Allow them to cool on a wire rack. When they are completely cool, store in a tightly covered container.
- If you find a Mirro cookie press, either vintage or new, that includes the star tube, grab it!
- If you don't have a cookie press, form the dough into 1-inch balls and flatten them with a fork.
Tips:
- Choose the right cheese. A good melting cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère, will give your cheese straws a smooth and gooey texture. You can also use a combination of cheeses for a more complex flavor.
- Use cold butter. Cold butter will help to create a flaky crust on your cheese straws. If your butter is too warm, it will melt into the dough and make it greasy.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help to firm it up and make it easier to work with. You can chill the dough for up to 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the cheese straws until they are golden brown. The cheese straws should be baked until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious flavor.
- Serve the cheese straws warm. Cheese straws are best served warm, when the cheese is still melted and gooey. You can serve them with a dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or marinara sauce.
Conclusion:
Cheese straws are a fun and easy snack or appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a casual get-together. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious cheese straws that everyone will love.
