Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a food processor fitted with the grating blade, grate cheese. Switch to cutting blade; add flour, butter, mustard powder, salt, ground pepper, and cayenne. Pulse until a dough forms. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface; divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, about 3/8 inch in diameter and 18 inches long; cut each rope into six 3-inch pieces. Place pieces 1 inch apart on a baking sheet. Drag the tines of a fork down each straw to create ridges. Bake until golden and firm to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Pulse cheese, flour, butter, salt, and cayenne in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk and pulse until dough forms a ball. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 12- by 10-inch rectangle (1/8 inch thick). Cut dough with a lightly floured pizza wheel or lightly floured sharp knife into 1/3-inch-wide strips. Carefully transfer to 2 ungreased baking sheets, arranging strips 1/4 inch apart. (If strips tear, pinch back together.) Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until pale golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool completely on baking sheets on racks, about 15 minutes.

Time 30m Yield 48 Number Of Ingredients 7 Steps:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, salt, grated cheese and butter or margarine in a bowl and mix until well combined. Add water a little bit at a time to make a very stiff dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll pieces of the dough into just slightly thicker than pencil shaped sticks. Cut sticks into 4 to 5 inch lengths. Arrange the pieces on the baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 5 minutes or until browned.
Time 8m Yield 5 dozen Number Of Ingredients 5 Steps:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Sift together the flour, cayenne and salt and set aside. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and cheese until blended. Add the flour mixture slowly, beating at low speed, then continue to beat for 5 minutes, until very creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl several times. Using a cookie press with a star tip, make 3-inch-long cheese straws, leaving at least 1/2 inch between each on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to racks to cool. Makes approximately 5 dozen cheese straws.
Time 30m Yield 20 cheese straws Number Of Ingredients 8 Steps:
Sift the flour and add the salt, paprika and cayenne. Rub in the butter until the mixture is like oatmeal. Add the cheeses, Tabasco sauce and egg yolk. Make into a smooth dough, adding water as necessary. Roll out onto a floured board and cut in narrow strips, about one-fourth of an inch wide and three-inches long. Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for seven to eight minutes, or until golden.
Time 30m Yield 60 approximate, 12 serving(s) Number Of Ingredients 6 Steps:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together using hands. When mixed, place in cookie press using the star pattern. Make long strips on cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes on lightly sprayed cookie sheets. Cool on wire racks. When cool, break into desired lengths. Store in air tight container. Will keep for weeks.
Time 30m Yield 5 to 6 dozen Number Of Ingredients 5 Steps:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the butter with the cheese and the seasonings in a large bowl. Add the flour and knead into a smooth dough. Pack the dough in batches into a cookie press and press through the flat, ridged-line opening onto an ungreased cookie sheet to form ‘‘straws’’ of about 2 1/2 to 3 inches in length. Bake until golden (do not let them brown) and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the pan with a metal spatula and let cool. Serve or store in an airtight container. (The straws are very fragile.)

Bring cheese and butter to room temperature; mix them together by hand. Add flour and cayenne; mix well. Use a cookie press with a star or zigzag end place to make strips on ungreased baking sheets., Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown and as crisp as desired.
Yield makes 4 dozen Number Of Ingredients 7 Steps:
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Put the softened cheese and butter in the bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer. Using the heaviest mixer attachment, beat the cheese and butter until the mixture has the consistency of whipped cream, about 30 minutes. On a sheet of waxed paper, sift 3 cups of the flour with the salt, black pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder. Gradually add the seasoned flour to the cheese mixture by large spoonfuls, beating well after each addition. Add the unseasoned flour until the dough is somewhat stiff but still soft enough to be pushed through a cookie press; you may not need to add all of the flour. Lightly spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Put a portion of the dough into a cookie press fitted with the star tube and press the dough onto the cookie sheet in long strips that run the length of the pan (see Note). Bake for 20 minutes. The cheese straws should be golden brown and crisp. With a sharp knife, cut the long strips into 3-inch lengths. Use a flat, thin spatula or egg turner to remove the cheese straws from the pan. Allow them to cool on a wire rack. When they are completely cool, store in a tightly covered container. If you find a Mirro cookie press, either vintage or new, that includes the star tube, grab it! If you don’t have a cookie press, form the dough into 1-inch balls and flatten them with a fork.
Time 43m Yield 4-5 dozen Number Of Ingredients 3 Steps:
Using food processor or mixer, blend pie crust mix, cheese spread and cayenne pepper until dough ball is formed. Chill dough for 20 minutes before rolling out and cutting with desired cookie cutter shape, or cutting into strips approximately 2 inches in length. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake in pre-heated 375 degree oven for 8 minutes. Remove from pan after cooling 5 minutes. Store in air-tight container. NOTE: Preparation time includes 20 minutes chilling time.
Time 30m Yield 8 serving(s) Number Of Ingredients 5 Steps:
Mix into a paste with the yolk of an egg. Roll out to the thickness of a silver quarter, about four or five inches long; cut into strips about a third of an inch wide, twist them as you would a paper spill, and lay them on a baking-sheet slightly floured. Bake in a moderate oven until crisp, but they must not be the least brown. If put away in a tin, these cheese straws will keep a long time. Serve cold, piled tastefully on a glass dish. You can make the straws of remnants of puff-pastry, rolling in the grated cheese. Cooking time is an estimate, watch carefully. From :Feeding America - Whitehouse Cookbook , A Collection.
