Ingredients

1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
2. 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
3. ¾ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
4. 1 teaspoon kosher salt
5. ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
6. ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper
7. ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
8. ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon whole milk

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In the work bowl of a food processor, add flour, cheese, butter, salt, peppers, and paprika; pulse to combine. With food processor running, add milk in a slow steady stream until mixture forms a dough.
3. Using a cookie press fitted with a star-shaped disk, pipe dough into long straight lines on prepared pans; cut into 4-inch pieces.
4. Bake until lightly browned, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool on pans on wire racks. Store in an airtight container up to 5 days.

Notes

1. If you don’t have a cookie press, roll dough to ¼-inch thickness, and cut into 4x½-inch strips.
