Cheese Straws

• 3/4 c unsalted butter, room temp.
  
• 1-1/2 c extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  
• 1/3 c parmesan cheese, finely grated
  
• 1/4 tsp paprika
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 1/4 tsp pepper
  
• 1 c flour
  

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients, except flour, in food processor until blended. (Spices can be added per taste) Add flour, pulse on/off until blended.

Put dough in cookie press. (I usually use the star pattern) Press dough onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 14-16 min. or until golden.

If you don't have a cookie press you can spoon flat rounds onto cookie sheet.

I sometimes don't use these ingredients exactly as written. I usually make it to my taste....They're pretty good.

Makes about 5 dozen.
