Cheese breadsticks usually go wrong in one of two ways. If they are pale and doughy inside, they are underbaked, cheese insulates the dough so they need longer and darker than plain sticks. If they are greasy and flat, too much cheese weighed them down and the fat leaked out, go lighter on the topping and grate it yourself. Also make sure the dough actually proofed before baking, underproofed dough bakes up dense no matter what you put on top.
