Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2.
Place bake mix, butter, and garlic powder in a food processor. Process until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cheeses and eggs. Pulse just until dough comes together.
3.
Transfer dough onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Lightly form into a flat round. Place second piece of wrap over dough. Press or roll dough to a 6x12 rectangle, about 1/2-inch thick. Refrigerate until very firm, at least 2 hours (or overnight).
4.
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 40 6-inch long strips. 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.
