    I couldn't get this to form into a ball. Seemed way too dry and I ended up adding more butter and even water to form into the ball. Haven't baked them yet, but way to frustrating to try again.

    Very good, and very different. Topped with the tart apple slices, as recommended, and they disappeared as quickly as I could bake them!

    This IS hard to form into a ball, but well worth the effort! It takes the heat from your hands to soften the butter and cheese enough to form the logs. I worked portions of the dough into individual balls, then joined those together into one ball. After forming & wrapping the logs, they stored well for several days in the freezer before I baked them. Terrific variation of Cheese Straws.
