• Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
• Sift together the flour, cayenne and salt and set aside. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and cheese until blended. Add the flour mixture slowly, beating at low speed, then continue to beat for 5 minutes, until very creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl several times.
• Using a cookie press with a star tip, make 3-inch-long cheese straws, leaving at least 1/2 inch between each on an ungreased cookie sheet.

CHEESE STRAWS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Put the softened cheese and butter in the bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer. Using the heaviest mixer paddle attachment, beat until the mixture has the consistency of whipped cream, 15 to 30 minutes.
• In a large bowl, sift 3 cups of the flour with the salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and garlic powder. Gradually add the seasoned flour to the cheese mixture by large spoonfuls, beating well after each addition. Add the remaining 1 cup unseasoned flour incrementally until the dough is somewhat stiff but still soft enough to be pushed through a cookie press; you may not need to add all the flour.
• Lightly spray 4 cookie sheets with cooking spray. Put a portion of the dough into a cookie press fitted with the star tube and press the dough onto a cookie sheet in long strips that run the length of the pan. Repeat until the pan is full. Bake until straws are golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.
• With your hands or a sharp knife, break or cut the long strips into 3-inch lengths. Use a flat, thin spatula or an egg turner to remove the cheese strips from the pan. Allow them to cool on a wire rack. When they are completely cool, serve or store in a tightly covered container.

• Roll out each sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured board until it is 10- by 12-inches. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the surface of the pastry. Sprinkle each sheet evenly with 1¿4 cup of the Parmesan, 1¿2 cup of the Gruyère, 1¿2 teaspoon of the thyme, 1¿2 teaspoon of the salt, and some pepper. With the rolling pin, lightly press the flavorings into the puff pastry. Cut each sheet crosswise with a floured knife or pizza wheel into 11 or 12 strips. Twist each strip and lay on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and puffed. Turn each straw and bake for another 2 minutes. Don't over bake or the cheese will burn. Cool and serve at room temperature.

EMERIL'S EASY CHEESE STRAWS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, one at a time, roll out each pastry sheet to a 12x18-inch rectangle. Combine the egg and the water and whisk to make an egg wash.
• Lay one pastry sheet flat on the work surface and lightly brush with the egg wash. Sprinkle with the cheeses and Essence. Top with the remaining sheet of pastry, pressing firmly to seal, then lightly roll with a rolling pin. Trim the edges with a knife to make them even. If you wish, change the flavor of the straws by using pesto sauce instead of the egg wash, top with cheese, and proceed as directed.
• Cut the dough crosswise into strips, about 1/3 to 1/2-inch wide. Twist each three times to make a spiral and place on an ungreased baking sheet. (You can also cut the pastry into diamond shapes and place them on the baking sheet.) Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Remove and transfer to a serving platter. Serve warm.

• Bake until golden (do not let them brown) and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the pan with a metal spatula and let cool. Serve or store in an airtight container. (The straws are very fragile.)
