Ingredients:  
½ cup ( one stick) butter softened
1 pound grated sharp Cheddar Cheese
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions:
Directions:
Combine the butter and cheese in a food processor. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cayenne and add to the food processor bowl. Pulse until the dough forms a ball. Turn out onto waxed paper and roll into small logs. ( I make several small ones for ease of handling). Wrap each log in the waxed paper and twist the ends to keep airtight. Refrigerate until firm enough to slice.

Preheat oven to 350º F: Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats, or use nonstick sheets.

Cut the dough into ¼ slices and place ½ inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely before placing into airtight tins. Dough may be placed into re-sealable plastic freezer bags and frozen. Baked cheese straws may be frozen in tins. To reheat, place frozen cheese straws in a 300º oven for 5 minutes.
