Really yummy stuff! I made these with half-cheddar cheese and half-regular grated cheese. This was originally something I tried out to get rid of my extra cheese but I never expected it to be this good. Absolutely brilliant.

I tried these, they are tasty...but not what I expected. I was looking for something with a little bit of crunch and these were like a biscuit. Probably good with chilli or soup

These cheese straws were absolutely wonderful. My whole family loved them and can not wait until i make them again. I did not use the Cheyenne pepper. I also made them a little bit thicker than a pencil width and they cooked at about 6 min or so. They were much easier to handle when they were thicker (do not go much bigger or they wont cook right) Over all absolutely wonderful!!!

Initially, these weren't really what I was looking for but that's my own fault for not thinking about the ingredients more carefully. I was looking for a crispy more butter cookie like texture and these are soft and more like small bread sticks. I realize now that's from the baking powder. I used garlic salt instead of regular and an additional cup of freshly grated sharp cheddar (didn't seem like enough cheese to flour for me initially). I rolled out and cut them to about pencil sized per the instructions and they took closer to 10 minutes to bake. The result was a soft, very cheesy small breadstick with just a hint of heat. They were quite good, just not what I had in mind. As I was going for a crispier result, I let them cool, turned them on their side, and put them back into a 300 degree oven for about 25 minutes (like you would with biscotti). It worked - light, flaky, crispy and cheesy little cracker like sticks.

This is a good base for adding more flavors. I made this recipe exactly but added more ingredients when I tasted the bland, almost tasteless outcome. When I added about 1/8 teaspoon more cayenne pepper, 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and about 1/2 cup more cheese, the recipe was much better. With the added ingredients, they also needed more baking time though. They almost taste like meatless meatballs.

I just finished making these! Great receipe. I was out of cayenne pepper so I substituted season salt and I put in a little garlic powder. Great combo. It is a little time consuming to roll out the pieces, but it is worth it.

These were easy to make, but not as flavorful as I'd hoped. I liked them, but I didn't love them. They were a little bland....maybe I'll add more spices next time.

This recipe did not work for me. Despite using a piping method or rolling them, they spread into the same shape. Flat. Like the taste.

Love them! Great taste & texture. Although, my oven is calibrated correctly and it took more like 10 min. to cook rather than 5. I added 2 C. of shredded cheese to make a total of 4 C. & also added a little more cayenne pepper.

I only feel compelled to rate recipes that are really good...or really bad. Unfortunately,this one was really bad. I followed the recipe to a T. There was hardly any cheese flavor at all. Maybe I should have done as others suggested and used freshly shredded cheddar.

This is the best recipe for cheese straws ever. I have made these straws every week since ive discovered this! I often add some cracked black pepper, sea salt and a sprinkling of stilton to the top of the straws before I bake them they turn out absolutely amazing every time!

I like cheese straws--they're a lot like biscuits. When I make them, I use whatever cheese I have on hand. I've made them with pepper jack cheese, cheddar, and parmesan-romano. But the other posts are right: they are best with freshly shredded cheese.

I agree with some other reviewers, these were very floury tasting. They were kind of ok straight from the oven, but not good the next day.

These were excellent. I took another reviewers suggestion and added Italian seasoning for a little more taste and color. I liked the soft texture but might try cooking a little longer next time for a crunchy batch. These are perfect for a bridal or baby shower. Will make again, thanks!

Eh. These weren't really that great. The taste was okay, but they needed longer in the oven before they were browned. We thought they were rather dry. They might be nice dipped in something, but I don't think I'll be making them again.
