The name of these cookies -chocolate revel bars – is fitting because you will take great pleasure or delight in eating them. Fortunately, I made them for a gift otherwise I would have had a hard time not eating the whole pan in one sitting.

Turn one of your pizza dough balls into breadsticks. The sourdough starter imparts a subtle tang to the breadsticks and gives them a light texture and a depth in flavor. Serve them with warmed pizza sauce for dipping.
