Anyone ever make cheese straws??

I was thinking of making some to have on hand for Christmas and for small gifts.

I have a recipe and it doesn't sound to difficult but I don't know how soon in advance of Christmas can I make them??

Thanks!!

PM batgirl2good because I know she makes them. Never had them myself that I know of.

Ummmmm, cheese straws, yum. I love them Personally, I love warm soft cheese straws, the just out the oven ones. I wouldn't say that they stay fresh for that long. Unless you could freeze them? Maybe they would stay fresh. Sorry, I haven't been much help, the cheese straw title just drew me in

Gail, we make them frequently (they're wonderful with spinach dip) but we cook them kind of crisp like the bought ones. I know they'll last for about two weeks in a ziplock bag.......if they actually last that long!

Around here, they're thin strips of crisp, light, cheese-flavored "crackers" Cracker really isn't a good word, but its the best I can come up with off the top of my head....you can buy them in several different cheesy variaties, but the ones we make are sharp cheddar, dusted with a light coat of red pepper.

I just Googled them. I know them as bread sticks which can be flavoured with herbs or cheese.

I can hold off making them for a month yet so that shouldn't be a problem.
I just can't tell Neil as he will find them and eat them.
An aged cheddar? 1 yr/3 yr/5yr aged cheddar or too much and just get the grocery store sharp cheddar? (this is Wisconsin after all I have a choice!)

Laureen, your recipe looks just like mine, aside from the pecans.....cool!

I love cheese, and I didn't know what cheese straws were. Sounds yummy!
