Cheese Straws
 
 
1/2 cup    (1 stick) butter, at room temperature  
1 lb    sharp Cheddar, shredded, at room temperature  
1 1/2 cups    all-purpose flour  
1 tsp    salt  
1/4 tsp    ground red pepper  
 
Preheat the oven to 300° F. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add the cheese and mix until blended. Add the flour, salt, and red pepper, and mix to form a dough. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up the dough, then place it in a cookie press, fitted with a ridged tip. Pipe the dough in 2-inch strips onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to racks to cool.
