Ostiepkove tycinky (Cheese Sticks)

A colleague at work has noted over and over again that the results of my weekend baking means 'sweets' for the office staff. He has requested more than once that a more savoury item appear on a Monday morning. Then the other week he handed me this recipe with a roughly translated ingredient list and a request that I try this some weekend. I did....the result was a somewhat moist but savory appetizer which I am happy to share with you...note the bench scraper?!
