TM

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, lightly beaten
garlic salt, for sprinkling
1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Place bake mix, butter, and garlic powder in a food
processor. Process until mixture resembles coarse
crumbs.
3. Add cheeses and eggs. Pulse just until dough comes
together. Transfer dough onto a large piece of plastic
wrap. Lightly form into a flat round.
4. Place second piece of wrap over dough. Press or roll
dough to a 6" x 12" rectangle, about 1/2" thick.
Refrigerate until very firm, at least 2 hours (or
overnight).
5. Place dough horizontally on countertop. Remove top
sheet of plastic from dough. Sprinkle with garlic salt;
gently press into dough. With a sharp knife cut dough
into forty 6" long strips.
6. Transfer strips to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 12-
15 minutes, until lightly browned. Slide "straws" onto a
cooling rack. When cool, store in an airtight container.
