In a stand mixer, cream butter until light and fluffy. Add cheese and mix until the cheese and butter come to a creamy consistency.

In a bowl, sift flour and seasonings together.

Add flour in small batches to the mixer and combine with the butter/cheese mixture until all of the flour is incorporated well.

The dough will be a bit stiff.

Add to a cookie press fitted with a star piping tip. Pipe onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper in 3-4" strips.

Refrigerate sheet pans of cheese straws for 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking to prevent spreading.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake cheese straws for 20 minutes or until golden and crisp.
