If you’re in need of an easy hostess/housewarming gift, tailgating or party snack, these delicious cheese straws are the answer. Growing up I can remember my brother and I sharing cheese-its with my dad while watching football. These however, are so much better. Each bite tastes so fresh and cheesy!
Southern Cheese Straws
via hodgepodge

1 tsp salt

Cream butter and cheese. Add the dry ingredients and form into small balls. Flatten with the bottom of a glass or with the palm of your hand. Press with a fork and place each one on a sprayed pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, depending on how crisp you like them.
Paired with a bottle of red wine or a collection of seasonal brews and you have a perfect anytime gift!

These sound amazing! I never say no to a recipe surrounding cheese!
Mmmm these sound delicious! Homemade Cheez-It’s? Yes, please!
so tasty and so easy!!!
These are always to DIE for. I found a recipe that’s now my go-to that adds in Rice Krispy cereal for a great texture + crushed red pepper flakes for the heat.
I love cheese straws but have never attempted to make my own. They’re always such a crowd pleaser!
I live in Wisconsin aka the U.S. capital of cheese, so you know I’ll be trying these out!
Anything cheese related is right up my alley! Yum!

These would be amazing paired with pumpkin beer and bonfire 🙂 Perfect for fall!
