They&#8217;re flaky, savory and often the most poppable appetizer on the table because their crispy and light texture reminds us of cheese snack crackers. Luckily, they&#8217;re easy to make on your own, and the homemade version is infinitely more delicious than store-bought snacks. Our recipe for cheese straws folds cheddar cheese and a pinch of cayenne into a soft dough. Then, you just roll it out, slice it up and bake!<\/p>\n<p>Set out homemade cheese straws at your next get-together, and learn a whole new meaning for the expression &#8220;the last straw.&#8221; Hopefully, you&#8217;ll be lucky enough to grab the last straw for yourself!<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Cheese Straws<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1988134\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cheese-Straws-FT24_47232_ST_0328_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Cheese Straws ingredients\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Butter: <\/strong>Whether salted or unsalted, butter is the reason these cheese straws bake up so flaky and crispy. It should be softened just enough to make it easy to blend but not so much that it&#8217;s melting.

You can also sprinkle a flaky <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-salt\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-salt\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">type of salt<\/a> over the straws before baking them for an attractive finish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cayenne pepper:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t worry, these cheese straws aren&#8217;t fiery! Just a pinch of cayenne brings a hint of chile pepper flavor\u2014and color, too.

If any cheese straw pieces tear as you transfer them, just push the dough back together with your fingers.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Bake<\/h3>\n<p>Place the baking sheet in the oven, and bake the cheese straws for 15 to 20 minutes, until they&#8217;re lightly browned. Let the straws rest on the baking sheet for five minutes, then move them to a cooling rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1988136\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cheese-Straws-FT24_47232_ST_0328_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Line the baking sheet with parchment paper\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Cheese Straws Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Swap in different cheeses:<\/strong> As good as cheese straws are with cheddar, they&#8217;re also quite tasty when made with an equal amount of other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/cheese-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/cheese-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">types of cheese<\/a> like Parmesan, Swiss, pepper jack, smoked Gouda or blue cheese.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add seasonings:<\/strong> Add chopped fresh herbs like dill, rosemary, chives or thyme. A few teaspoons of dried herbs or spice blends of your choice can be added, too. Try giving them some heat with chili powder, smoky ancho chili powder or more cayenne. Or mix a packet of dry onion soup mix into the cheese dough.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try bacon-cheese straws:<\/strong> Cheese and bacon is the ultimate pairing! Fold 1\/2 cup cooked, diced bacon into the cheese dough before rolling and slicing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make cheese squares:<\/strong> Cutting these cheese straws into squares will make them seem more like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-homemade-cheez-its\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-homemade-cheez-its\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">homemade Cheez-Its<\/a>. After rolling the dough into a rectangle, use a knife and a ruler to slice the dough into small squares. Move the squares to the baking sheet, and prick the tops with the tines of a fork. Consider adding five to seven minutes to the bake time to make sure they&#8217;re baked through, keeping an eye on them as they go.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try decorative shapes:<\/strong> Instead of rolling the dough into a rectangle, put the cheese straw dough into a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip. Pipe out the cheese straws into 6-inch lines. (You can draw lines on your parchment to use as a guide.) Or, load the dough into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cookie-press\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cookie-press\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cookie press<\/a>: Use a plate with a large shape like a flower or swirl.

However, when they&#8217;re stored in an airtight container, they tend to soften and lose some of that crispiness. To fix this, just arrange the cheese straws on a baking sheet, and pop them in a 350\u00b0 oven for about five minutes. Don&#8217;t leave them unattended\u2014they could burn if baked too long.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with cheese straws?<\/h3>\n<p>These cheese straws are perfect for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-a-charcuterie-board\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-a-charcuterie-board\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">charcuterie board<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/charcuterie-butter-board\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/charcuterie-butter-board\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">butter board<\/a>.
