Cheese Straws

"I made these for my family in hopes they would gobble them up..especially since my little guy is fond of cheese, but these were not well recieved.

I did like the taste and texture, but probably won't attempt these again unless I have a specific request. I have found other recipes with similar ingredients that sound promising.
