that you need to do it in a food processor and i don't have a big one. do have a stand mixer. any suggestions? or do you think that dough would come together ok in a mixer if i shredded the cheddar on a microplane or fine grater? thanks!
I liked these a lot - rec: Grandma's Cheese Straws

There are many recipes out there for cheese straws, but I had to post Grandma's recipe. These were a staple at her house and we couldn't wait to devour them when we went for a visit.
