Sesame Cheddar Sticks

A recent snack mix I was munching had these delightful little crunchies in them. After much squinting at the ingredients list, I determined they were sesame cheese sticks. Their savory goodness was so compelling that I had to find  a recipe. Here you go!


On top are the 1/2x3 inch size in the original recipe.
On bottom are the smaller bits I cut to use in a snack mix or as a salad topper.

 1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 c butter or margarine
3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
approx 2 tsp cold water

Preheat oven to 450'F.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and sesame seeds.
Cut in cheese and butter.
Sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce and water.
Stir together with fork until mixture clings together. (I had to add another 2 tsp of water.) Shape into two balls.
On a lightly floured board, roll one ball of dough out 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 3x1/2-inch strips. (Or smaller for the salad bits.)
Place on ungreased baking sheet and baking sheet and bake at 450'F 8-10 min until golden. (5-7 min for bits)
Remove to racks, cool. (They crisp up as they cool.) Repeat with other ball of dough.
