Cheese straws, sometimes called cheese sticks, or cheeselings make for a great anytime snack. I recall eating them when outside playing with friends, and at family gatherings. They can be served hot or at room temperature.
2 1/4 cups cheese, grated (room temperature)
1/2 cup butter or margarine (room temperature)
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp cheyenne pepper
1/4 tsp black pepper, ground
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients.
- Knead until a soft and well blended dough is formed.
- Using a rolling pin, roll dough out to about 1/4-inch thick, and cut into 1/2 by 3-inch rectangles.
- Arrange straws 1-inch apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
- Bake on 400°F/200°C for 15-20 minutes, or until golden.
OR
- Pack the dough into a cookie press and use a small star-shaped or circle shaped disk. Hold at an angle and press, while dragging to form 3-inch straws.
- Arrange straws 1-inch apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
- Bake on 400°F/200°C for 15-20 minutes, or until golden.
Makes 40-60

You must have heard about it since it's doing a lot of rounds in the celebrity circuit and is all over the news. Its tastes amazing with everything, try it and let me know if you liked it or not. It is a health drink which is made up of 7 fruits juice and is high on antioxidants and you know about antioxidants right? it prevents premature ageing, what else do growing women want huh, LOL!!
