Note: I am fortunate to live in Mississippi. Home of the Mississippi Cheese Straw Factory. You will find cheese straws gracing the best of the best in weddings, bridal and baby showers, tailgating parties and just casual family nights. Flavors abound with traditional, lemon straws, mudpuppies, three cheese, key lime, pineapple coconut, asiago cheese.... ahhhhh! As their website says, the mouth has 10,000 taste buds. I hope that is enough.
Of course, if you are a Mississippi girl, you have a cheese straw recipe tucked away in your recipe box whether you use it or not.

16 ounces of extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

These sound scrumptious! I've seen these cheese straws done w/o a cookie press using the end of a ziploc bag cut off, too. :D

I'm a cheese addict! Looks yummy!
How much flour do you use? Sounds really good!
Never mind...I looked again and found the flour measurements. Sorry!
I never got cheese straws. I mean I never understood cheese straws. But then, I tasted them fresh and it was like "aaaaaaaaaaaaah (angelic singing from the heavens)"
Now I think I'll be making them for myself. I could use a few angels singing in my kitchen, or cleaning maybe.
Okay, my captcha word I had to put in for my last comment was iturdstr. haha That makes me giggle.
