Since my mom is such an expert at making cheese straws, she decided to switch up the traditional cheddar version for a little something different. They turned out amazing!
Instructions
FIRST Preheat oven 350°F. In a food processor combine cheese, butter and rosemary and pulse until combined. Add flour, salt, and pepper and pulse until mixture forms a ball, scraping down sides if necessary.
NEXT On a well floured surface, roll dough into a ¼” thick rectangle. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into long, ½” wide strips. One at a time, lift straws with a butter knife and transfer to an ungreased cookie sheet. Alternately, dough can be shaped into ½” balls and pressed on baking sheet until ¼” thick wafers.
LAST Bake for 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool and transfer to serving platter.
