Southern Cheese Straws Recipe

My cousin, Jessica, made these delicious cheese straws for our cousin’s Bridesmaids Luncheon. Cheese straws are a simple pleasure, come in all sorts of shapes and designs and are a tradition in the south. Here is Jessica’s southern cheese straws recipe.

What would a ladies luncheon be without cheese straws?

    I made these today for a baby shower. I pressed them out in straws with my grandma’s cookie press! They were fabulous! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Your pictures make me want to host a luncheon now!

    I made these for a party tonight. Oh my word. They’re glorious! I also took the liberty of adding garlic powder to the recipe, with droolworthy results.
