Cheesewafersstrawscookies Recipes

Steps:

• Cream cheese and margarine; add flour and Rice Krispies.
• For Cheese Straws, roll out on floured cloth; cut in 2 1/2 x 1/2-inch sticks.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.
• For Cheese Wafers: Form into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet; mash lightly with fork.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees.

Steps:

• Blend softened butter with grated cheese.
• Add salt, garlic powder, cayenne powder and worcestershire.
• Stir in flour and rice krispies.
• For wafers: Form by hand into balls and flatten with fork.
• For straws: Flatten pieces of dough by hand on parchment paper and cut into 4 x 6 inch straws and separate.
• Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake in a 325 degree oven for 17 minutes. Watch carefully and do not overbake. Let cool slightly and place on paper towels. Store in an air tight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, cayenne, and salt in a large shallow bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture is the texture of coarse meal. Add the cheese and rub into the flour-butter mixture gently with your fingertips until a small bit of dough, when pinched together, will hold its shape. Roll into 3/4-inch balls, place 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets, then flatten into rounds 1/4-inch thick by pressing with a flat-bottomed glass that has been dipped into flour. (You'll have to keep dipping the glass into flour to keep the dough from sticking to it.) Bake uncovered 10 to 12 minutes until pale tan. Transfer the wafers at once to wire racks to cool, then store airtight.

Steps:

• Mix flours, salt, and cayenne pepper together. With the tips of your fingers, work cold butter quickly into the flour mixture until the butter is the size of peas. Add all cheeses and toss together. Sprinkle the water in by the tablespoon while tossing the flour cheese mixture with your other hand. As soon as the dough begins to form a mixture that sticks together, gently press it out on a lightly floured board in a rectangle about 10 to 12 inches long by 5 to 6 inches wide. Roll quickly with a rolling pin, so the dough is a solid piece. It will look rough at this point, but will smooth out later.
• Fold 1/3 of the dough towards you from the top and 1/3 of the dough away from you towards the top. The dough will break along the folds; don't worry about it. Turn the dough block sideways so it looks like a book. Roll the dough a second time and fold again. Rest the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Roll and fold the dough twice more. Rest it in the refrigerator for 1 hour. At this point, the dough may be frozen in one or two pieces or rolled to make cheese straws.
• To roll dough to make cheese straws, cut dough in half, keeping one half chilled. On a lightly floured board, roll dough about 1/8-inch thick in a rectangle about 8 to 9 inches wide. Trim the edges (but bake the trimmings for a snack). With a sharp knife, cut the straws 1/2-inch wide and lay them on a well greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes until a light brown. They will crisp as they cool. The straws are fragile, so handle them carefully and eat them soon.

Steps:

• In a medium size mixing bowl, blend together butter or margarine and flour. Mix in the Cheddar cheese, salt, red pepper, hot pepper sauce, and pecans. Form the dough into a roll, wrap in parchment paper, and refrigerate over night.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Slice dough into very thin wafers. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crisp.

Steps:

• Unfold the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water; generously brush on the pastry sheets (reserve the remaining egg wash).
• Combine the cheddar, parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over 1 pastry sheet, then place the other pastry sheet on top, egg wash-side down, lining up the edges. Lightly dust the pastry with flour; firmly press the top sheet down, then roll out the sandwiched pastry sheets into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut the puff pastry rectangle in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 18 strips. Twist each strip a few times and arrange 1/2 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Brush with the reserved egg wash. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes or up to 1 day.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Bake the cheese straws, switching and rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until puffed and golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Slide the straws (on the parchment) onto a rack and let cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, cayenne, and salt in a large shallow bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture is the texture of coarse meal. Add the cheese and rub into the flour-butter mixture gently with your fingertips until a small bit of dough, when pinched together, will hold its shape. Roll into 3/4-inch balls, place 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets, then flatten into rounds 1/4-inch thick by pressing with a flat-bottomed glass that has been dipped into flour. (You'll have to keep dipping the glass into flour to keep the dough from sticking to it.) Bake uncovered 10 to 12 minutes until pale tan. Transfer the wafers at once to wire racks to cool, then store airtight.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Cut butter into flour.
• Add cheese and seasonings.
• Fold in cereal.
• Drop by small spoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheets and flatten with back of spoon.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes.
• Don't let them get too brown!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Put the softened cheese and butter in the bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer. Using the heaviest mixer paddle attachment, beat until the mixture has the consistency of whipped cream, 15 to 30 minutes.
• In a large bowl, sift 3 cups of the flour with the salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and garlic powder. Gradually add the seasoned flour to the cheese mixture by large spoonfuls, beating well after each addition. Add the remaining 1 cup unseasoned flour incrementally until the dough is somewhat stiff but still soft enough to be pushed through a cookie press; you may not need to add all the flour.
• Lightly spray 4 cookie sheets with cooking spray. Put a portion of the dough into a cookie press fitted with the star tube and press the dough onto a cookie sheet in long strips that run the length of the pan. Repeat until the pan is full. Bake until straws are golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.
• With your hands or a sharp knife, break or cut the long strips into 3-inch lengths. Use a flat, thin spatula or an egg turner to remove the cheese strips from the pan. Allow them to cool on a wire rack. When they are completely cool, serve or store in a tightly covered container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grate cheese. Sift flour, salt, cayenne & mustard into large bowl. Cut in butter and mix until fully combined (this can be done in a food processor). Stir in cheese and then knead with hands until batter comes together. If necessary, add small amount of ice water.
• Roll into ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 20 minutes (this can be done up to 2 days in advance of cooking). When dough is chilled, roll to about 1/4" inch thick and cut into strips about 1/2" wide. Place on slightly greased baking sheet and bake until golden, about 8-10 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix margarine and Rice Krispies (I use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment).
• Then mix in cheese.
• Combine flour and seasonings in another bowl.
• Add to the cheese mixture gradually.
• Roll mixture into marble-size balls. (I used a 1 inch cookie scoop.).
• Flatten with fork onto parchment paper covered cookie sheet.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Don't overbake them!
• Store in airtight container when cooled. Freezes well.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat together butter, cheese and cayenne pepper until thoroughly blended.
• Add flour, beating until blended.
• Shape dough into log about 9 1/2 inch long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
• Roll log in sesame seeds, coating completely.
• Wrap and refrigerate until firm, several hours or overnight.
• To bake wafers, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cut chilled dough into 1/4 inch slices.
• Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
• Press a pecan half in centre of each, if using.
• Bake 12-14 minutes or until edges and bottoms are golden.
• Remove wafers from baking sheets, cool on racks.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
• In a large bowl cream butter and cheese. Stir in flour and salt; mix well. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/2 inch in thickness. Cut into 2 inch strips and sprinkle with ground red pepper. Place strips on prepared cookie sheet(s) 1 1/2 inches apart.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until crisp.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Beat butter, cheese and Worcestershire sauce in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add flour and pepper; mix well.
• Roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness on lightly floured surface; cut into a variety of shapes with small cookie cutters. Place on ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake 10 to 12 min. or until edges are lightly browned. Cool completely on wire racks. Store leftover wafers in airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring cheese and butter to room temperature; mix them together by hand. Add flour and cayenne; mix well. Use a cookie press with a star or zigzag end place to make strips on ungreased baking sheets., Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown and as crisp as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, salt, grated cheese and butter or margarine in a bowl and mix until well combined. Add water a little bit at a time to make a very stiff dough.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll pieces of the dough into just slightly thicker than pencil shaped sticks. Cut sticks into 4 to 5 inch lengths. Arrange the pieces on the baking sheet.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 5 minutes or until browned.

Steps:

• Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
• Cut in shortening until the size of little pebbles.
• NOTE: I often grate frozen butter and stir it in with a fork rather than cutting in shortening.
• Mix in grated cheese with a fork.
• With a fork, stir in worchestershire sauce.
• Add ice water and quickly stir into a ball.
• Knead with hands, adding more ice water as needed, until smooth and pliable like pie crust dough.
• Do not handle any more than necessary.
• Divide dough in half and form into 2 logs about 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 8 inches long.
• Wrap in waxed paper.
• Place in airtight container (such as a zip bag) in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
• These can be made days ahead.
• When ready to bake, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Grease cookie sheets.
• Slice wafers off log and flatten to desired thinness (about 1/8 inch.
• Bake about 10 to 12 minutes or until starting to lightly brown.
• Let cool just slightly on cookie sheet to firm up; but best when served warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. In a food processor, combine flour, butter and cheese. Cover and process until well blended. Divide into four portions; shape each into a ball. Roll between pieces of waxed paper or plastic wrap into 7x5-in. rectangles. , Cut into 5x1/2-in. strips. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and, if desired, paprika or garlic salt. , Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Freeze option: Freeze cooled cheese straws in resealable plastic freezer bags. To use, reheat on an ungreased baking sheet in a preheated 350° oven until crisp and heated through.

Steps:

• Put flour and salt in mixing bowl. With fingers, work half the butter into the flour until it resembles damp, crumbly sand. Add the remaining cold butter chunks and the cheese and stir with a fork to distribute. Stir in milk and quickly gather dough into a ball with floured hands. (There should be visible butter chunks in the dough.) Squash dough into a rough rectangle about 1 inch thick.
• Dust dough with flour and roll to a long rectangle about 8 by 14 inches and about 1/2-inch thick, with the longer side facing you. Fold dough into thirds: first fold in right side, then left side on top of it, making a nearly square package three layers high. Dust again with flour and roll out to make same size rectangle, then fold it again. Dust and repeat once more. Wrap well in plastic film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 1 day in advance.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut dough in half. Refrigerate half the dough and roll the other piece out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. (Do not roll too thin or pastry will not puff.) To make wafers, cut dough into 2-inch rounds with a sharp cookie cutter (or cut into diamonds with a knife). To make straws, cut dough in strips 1/2-inch by 5 inches. Twist strips 2 or 3 times and press down ends to prevent unfurling.
• Place wafers or straws on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Paint lightly with egg wash and sprinkle with flaky salt. Add sprinklings of cumin seed, black pepper, rosemary or smoked paprika if desired, and a little more grated cheese. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes, until well browned and crisp. Let cool before serving. Repeat process with remaining half of dough.
• Note: To make heart-shaped palmiers, cut dough in half as above. Working with one dough half (and refrigerating the other), roll dough to a rectangle about 12 by 8 inches and 1/8-inch thick, with the longer side facing you. Paint entire sheet of dough with egg wash and sprinkle with cheese. Tightly roll each of the long edges toward the center so you have a long, somewhat narrow log consisting of 2 connected side-by-side cylinders. Cut crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Pinch the round side of each slice to form a heart shape. Flatten each heart-shaped slice with rolling pin and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Dab each heart with egg wash and sprinkle with flaky salt. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, until well browned.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat butter, cheeses, tarragon, oregano and garlic until well mixed. Beat in flour (the dough will be crumbly). Shape into a 14-in. roll. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. , Cut into 1/4-in. slices; place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° until golden brown and crisp, 10-12 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• Grate cheese on grater in food processor.
• Using steel blade of food processor, mix all ingredients together (two batches in small processor).
• Chill dough overnight. Divide dough into three or four portions. Soften just enough to roll out 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick between two sheets of waxed paper. Using knife or tool with serrated edge, cut into strips 3 inches long and less than 1 inch wide. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 400 degrees until barely tan in color, about 10 minutes; watch carefully.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
• Pulse cheese, flour, butter, salt, and cayenne in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk and pulse until dough forms a ball.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 12- by 10-inch rectangle (1/8 inch thick). Cut dough with a lightly floured pizza wheel or lightly floured sharp knife into 1/3-inch-wide strips. Carefully transfer to 2 ungreased baking sheets, arranging strips 1/4 inch apart. (If strips tear, pinch back together.)
• Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until pale golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool completely on baking sheets on racks, about 15 minutes.
