Just wondering if you can substitute parmesan cheese for the cheddar for my parmesan cheese addicted children (minus red pepper flakes). Would you add more butter to compensate for the drier parmesan?

I made these tonight. Coming down with a cold, bored, wanted something quick to make in the processor.

I swapped red pepper for Mrs. Dash and it’s yummm0. Thanks for this recipe.

You are right! These didn’t last an hour at a party, they hardly made it out the door, and for that matter into the oven. They smelled of heaven as they baked and were a huge hit! Thanks!

I just made these this afternoon to bring to a housewarming party. fyi– if the strips are cut to 5-5.5″, the dough makes exactly enough to fit into a wide mouth quart size mason jar (minus a few for tasting :)

5 words: Yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy!!!

I’m not big into pepper, so I added 1/2 a teaspoon of dry mustard instead of the pepper flakes, and the flavor was wonderful. Oh, and since cheddar isn’t available where we live ::sniff, sniff::, I grated up equal parts of Parmesan and Asiago. I guess they put a more Mediterranean spin on the cheese straws, but oh were they delicious! This is my new game-night-with-company recipe. :)

Happy New Year Deb (and everybody else)!
Thank you for your quick reply (I asked you if I can freeze the straws).
So I froze it, and few days afterwords I baked some of them (the rest is waiting in the freezer for today’s evening), and they were divine!
Thank you for the grate recipe!

I made cheese coins today with some super sharp cheddar from the cowgirls. A-ma-zing! Made two logs of the dough and froze them for an hour. Then I cut thin coins. The thinner ones were definitely better.

Can’t wait to try it again tomorrow with blue cheese. Thanks for the great recipe!

I also made you old school chocolate mousse today as well. My husband can barely contain himself, but I’m making him wait until our guests arrive.
