Directions:
Mix cheese and butter thoroughly and set aside. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and red pepper. Add dry ingredients in small amounts to cheese/butter mixture. If the dough is too stiff fro a cookie press, add a few drops of water. Place dough into a cookie press and squeeze long lines of dough onto a cookie sheet.

Place cookie sheet in oven and immediately reduce heat to 350º. Cook for 10 minutes but watch closely. When cheese straws begin to lightly brown, remove from oven. Cut into 3" lengths. Cool on wire rack, then pack into tins or boxes.

Rest oven at 500º for next batch. Repeat.

Can be made ahead and frozen.
