There are two things that I love to make with Rice Krispies - Rice Krispy Treats and Cheese Straws! Yes! Cheese Straws! The Rice Krispies give these Cheese Straws a lovely light crunch! They are always a hit at my Southern Tea Parties! After trying several Cheese Straw recipes, I've come up with my own version which works every time! Let me show you how I make them! This recipe could not be easier! Just combine butter/cheese mixture with dry ingredients, and you're ready to go! Next scoop tablespoons of mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet. With your hands, roll into balls then flatten with a fork dipped in flour. When you flatten, don't lift up, but slide off. I find that even when using a flour dipped fork the fork may stick to the dough when you lift up. Space them about 1 1/2" apart - they don't spread too much when baking. If you like really CRISPY Cheese Straws, such as you might find in the grocery store, pop them back into the oven as it's cooling and leave them for another hour, then cool. I did this with the batch you see here because I love them really crispy!! SECRET INGREDIENT CHEESE STRAWS 1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened 8oz pkg sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated (I used Cracker Barrel) 2 cups all purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon table salt 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne) 2 cups Rice Krispies Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using an electric mixer beat together butter and cheese until combined. Whisk together flour, salt and red pepper. With mixer on low speed add flour mixture to cheese mixture until combined. With a spatula, carefully fold in Rice Krispies. Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, place tablespoons of mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet. With your hand roll into balls. Flatten each ball with a fork dipped in flour. Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool on sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Makes about 4 dozen. Freezes well! If you've never tried this version of Cheese Straws, you should definitely give it a try!! I know your gonna love them!! Thanks for visiting!!
