This next recipe is one that I like to serve with soup for something a little different. Really they are good with just about any meal or as a snack. They are very easy to make. If you like the Cheez-its crackers, you might really enjoy these because they contain PLENTY of sharp cheddar cheese. They have a great chewy texture too:Sharp Cheddar Snack Sticks1/2 c. butter, softened1-1/2 c. all-purpose flour2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese1 t. salt1 t. garlic powdersquirt of Worchestershire saucecoarse salt/sea saltIn a food processor (you could use a mixer if you don't a processor) cream the butter. To this, add the cheddar cheese and pulse until it forms a thick paste. Add a splash of Worchestershire sauce, t. salt, and garlic powder. Slowly add the flour and pulse until the mixture is a play-dough consistency:On a floured surface, roll the dough into a ball. Roll out the dough until it's even and about 1/2" thick. It's up to you as to which shape you would like the sticks:Rectangles, good for dipping. A pizza cutter works well for this.Or you can do long, thin sticks (cut in half or they will break)A biscuit cutter for roundsLine a sheet with foil and spray with Pam. Lay out the dough shapes, about an inch apart. Sprinkle them with the coarse salt and any herb/spice mixture you prefer (more garlic is good also). Softly pat the tops with the palm of your hand to push in the spices:Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until they are very light golden brown. Bake longer for a crispier snack and shorter for a chewier snack. Remove and cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before eating. Store in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
