Parmesan Cheese Straws
Parmesan Cheese Straws are savory spritz cookies made with Parmigiano Reggiano® cheese. Make them ahead and refrigerate or
freeze them right on your baking tray, then bake them frozen. The secret to the best spritz cookies is good butter and plenty of
freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano. It is also important to let the cookies firm up in the refrigerator for at least two hours before
baking.
If possible, use pastry flour (not self-rising) for a tender crumbly cookie structure. If pastry flour is unavailable, all-purpose flour will
do. Sprinkle the cookies with extra grated Parmigiano Reggiano before baking for extra crunch. If you do not like cayenne pepper,
just omit it from the recipe. You can vary the flavor of these Parmesan Cheese Straws by adding some very finely chopped rosemary
to the dough. Parmesan Cheese Straws will keep for a day or two in an airtight container, but they are addictive so you may have to
hide them!
