Atkins Cheese Recipes

Ingredients:

1 cup Atkins Bake Mix
6 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 tsp garlic powder
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Garlic salt, for sprinkling

Instructions:

Place bake mix, butter, and garlic powder in a food processor. Process
until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add cheeses and eggs. Pulse until dough comes together. Transfer dough
onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Lightly knead to form a smooth dough.

Place second piece of wrap over dough. Press or roll dough to a 6- by
12-inch rectangle, about 1/2-inch thick. Refrigerate dough until very
firm, at least 2 hours (or up overnight). Dough may also be placed in
freezer until very firm.

Heat oven to 375 degrees. 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-inch long strips.

Transfer strips to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until
lightly browned. Slide "straws" onto a cooling rack. When cool, store in
an airtight container.

Comments: This delightful recipe won the Atkins Recipe Contest. It was
submitted by Frances Samek. For a sweet version, Ms. Samek suggests
omitting the Parmesan, garlic powder and garlic salt, and mixing in 1/2
teaspoon cinnamon and 5 packets of sugar substitute into the dough.
