homemade cheese straws and crackers

By Barbara Schwenk on 10.12.2009

homemade cheese straws and crackers

I love homemade cheese straws and crackers. They taste better than anything in the stores, and you know exactly what's in them.

These are so easy to make and your kids will love them!

Ingredients

1/2 c. butter, softened
1-1/2 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 t. salt
1 t. garlic powder
squirt of Worchestershire sauce (optional)
coarse salt/sea salt
* You can really get creative w/these and add any of your favorite herb mixes)

Directions

In a mixer or food processor cream the butter. Then add the cheddar cheese until it forms a thick paste. Add a splash of Worchestershire sauce, salt and garlic powder. Slowly add in the flour until the mixture is a play-dough type consistency.  On a floured surface, roll the dough into a ball then roll out the dough until it’s about 1/2” thick. You can make your crackers small “cracker” squares, long sticks or use the cookie press w/the straw attachment. Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray with Pam. Place your crackers on the cookie sheet about an inch apart. Sprinkle with salt and any herb/spice mixture you like (personally I’m a garlic fan.) Softly pat the tops with the palm of your hand to push in the spices: Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until they are a light golden brown. Remove and cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before eating. If you have any leftovers store them in an airtight container.

They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for timberlands boots himself but also for every thinking man and woman.

Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. But we gain new life timberland 6 inch by contacts, new friends. What is supremely true of living objects is only less true of ideas, which are also alive. Where your thoughts are, there will your live be also. If your thoughts timberland roll top boots are confined only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to the narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live in a narrow timberland chukka boots cir-conscribed life.
