You make this cheesy breadsticks recipe in a 9×13 baking dish so you can cut them in any way you’d like. I usually do breadsticks, but squares are great or even fun shapes for the kids. 
You could absolutely enjoy these dipping sticks on their own, but I love to use mine as a side to a delicious soup, like this minestrone soup (pictured below).
If you’re looking for a way to sneak in some vegetables, these cornbread breadsticks are perfect because they have corn kernels in them. Enjoy!
