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.

I was disappointed in this recipe. I followed the recipe to a T! I'm giving two stars because the recipe is fine, we just didn't care for the end result. Thanks anyway.

While my wife made these, I made a pot of Taco Soup. These go together perfectly. A definite keeper.

Dry (which I'm gathering is desirable in a cheese straw), but there has to be a better way than to roll ALL that dough by hand. I will have to try other reviewer's suggestions next time. Great flavor.

These were great and fast and easy! I ended up using a little more water to get the dough to the consistency I wanted. I did roll them a little thicker and turned them halfway through cooking time(cooking time took a little longer since I rolled them thicker). ALL my kids loved them(and that's saying something!) I will be making these often.

I made them for my family and my little brother's friend that was over at our house. They all loved them. I personally would have liked a little more cheese, but they were really good!

These turned out great. To add more flavor I added: 2 tbsp. of finely chopped chives, 2 tablespoons Italian Seasonings, 1 cup of Parmesan cheese and 1 tsp. cayenne. I increased baking time to 12 minutes for a more crisp cracker. I may try to increase it to 15 minutes to make them extra crispy. I also used an electric spritz cookie cutter for a more professional look. I also used a small heart cookie cutter to make perfectly shaped savory cheese crackers and stacked them up in cellophane wrappers for great Holiday gifts.

I've made a LOT of different cheese straw recipes and this is definitely the best. I grated a 10 oz block of extra sharp Cracker Barrel cheese in my food processor. Then I dumped it in my mixer bowl, dropped 1 ½ sticks of margarine in and popped it in the microwave for 40 seconds. I blended it and added the dry ingredients and put it in my cookie press with the big star tip and squirted straws in rows, the length of the pan. When they came out, I quickly cut them about every 2 inches. Very easy. I did not add the water and they came out absolutely delicious! Very light, crisp and cheesy! I did have to bake them about 12 minutes to get them light brown. If you take them out before that, they are not crisp.If you let them get too brown, they are burned... Have to keep a careful eye on them between 10 and 12 minutes. I definitely added this one to my recipe box. Thanks!

I needed finger food for a mid afternoon get together. Everyone loved the taste and texture. They are time-consuming to make, but well worth it.

A very good basic recipe. Heck, since it just won me 2nd place in our holiday "Goodie Day" contest, I gave it 5 stars! :) I'm also a huge dill nut, so I remembered to add about a tablespoon of dried dill to 1/2 the batch, fresh would have been even better. The cook time seemed too low, I was cooking between 10-12 minutes to get them near crispy versus soft...more toward 15 minutes for a nice snap. Maybe I made them a little thicker than intended? Definitely a keeper.

Heavenly. I was sitting here,found the recipe, tried it out and am now devouring them! All in less than 30 minutes. I had all the ingredients on hand except for the sharp cheeder. I used a pre-shredded bag of chedder and Monteray Jack and it worked perfectly. The cayenne pepper gives it that perfect little bite. They are delicious dipped in Blue Cheese!

I was excited to find such an easy recipe, but more than disappointed (and embarrassed) to serve these to my guests. Yuck! Tasted like cheese flavored flour sticks. Not crunchy, not cheesy, just plain not good. I'll try another recipe next time.

These were good, but despite using extra-sharp Cheddar, and a little Parmesan, they still weren't quite cheesy enough for us. I saved a bit of time by rolling out the dough, and using a pizza cutter to slice it into strips - easy. Not bad, but I doubt I'll make them again. Thanks anyway.
