Cheddar Spritz Cookies: Got a new cookie press (one that actually works well) and

[cynupstateny]

tried these out. I cooled them after baking and,after trying one, thought they were too soft. Put them back in the oven at 250 for about 20 min and they're excellent! Very crunchy and great with wine or beer. I also doubled the cayenne and they have just a faint taste. Add more if you like things really hot.http://bakelovegive.com/cheddar-spritz-crackers/

Those look really good! My favorite nibble.

These are "our" cheese straws in the South and nothing is better. Kudos for being able

to do them with the cookie press!! That is mastery.
For those without a press, these can be rolled into logs and frozen and cut and baked when you need/want them. Adding either some Rice Krispies or finely chopped pecans also works for the log idea--probably not for the cookie press.

Beautiful! I adore cheese straws (my waist; not so much)

Cyn, if you have a pizelle iron (or krumcake press) try pressing a flat version of your dough.

I used cheddar wafer dough and it was an amazing transition. I could not stop eating them: thin, crispy, endorphin-producing happiness.

Unfortunately, I went a little nuts last winter and got rid of anything I hadn't used in a year.

Clothing, small appliances and kitchen gadgets. Now I regret it!

I believe *slap forehead in frustration* is Step 13 of any 12-step decluttering schema.

So true! That is why I box up and keep for a few months before final out the door.
