  • Roll the dough thinly: The thinner you roll the dough, the crispier your cheese straws will be.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough: A sharp knife will give you clean cuts and prevent the dough from tearing.
  • Bake the cheese straws until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and crispy.
  • Serve the cheese straws warm with your favorite dipping sauce: Cheese straws are best served warm and fresh out of the oven. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as pesto, marinara, or ranch dressing.
