8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 stick of butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups of unsifted flour
¼ teaspoon red pepper

Mix cheese and butter together in a large bowl.  Add remaining ingredients and mix well by hand.  Place dough in a cookie press.  Use the small center star insert to push out 2 inch long straws.  Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 375 F for 10 to 12 minutes.  Makes 7-8 dozen straws.
