Story: HeartShards

A collection of short stories revolving around her and her “Heartshards”, which are basically parts of her soul.

Summary (You can find all of her information on her ToyHouse)

ChocoChan, or Choco for short, is my Main Persona and the being who (accidently) brought all of the OCs to life. She is very, very sensitive (physical and psycholotical) and often screams at people when being stressed, but she tries her best to become a better person. She loves to be inside, but in summer, when it's a bit warmer, she loves to stargaze. She loves to sing and draw, and tries to be thankful. After she fell from heaven (she was a guardian angel back then, but couldn't fulfill her duties), she was bitter and full of salt, but now she's rather shy and sweet. She also loves to watch her goldfishes in her garden.

Personality

quite anti-social, but tries her best to help people and be kind, often rages resulting in her regretting it and crying, pretty childish, creative, mostly worried about little things, easily scared, cuddly, can also be very shy and innocent (people tend to call her cute, but she doesn't like it), nerd and fangirl.

This enormous chocolate cookie is a delightful gift that is ideal for sharing. Its rich chocolate flavor and chewy texture make it an unbeatable treat.

Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 cup chocolate chips. 1/4 cup chopped nuts optional.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Mix the cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and flour together in a bowl using a whisk. Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in another bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix them in well. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix them together until they are just combined. You can add chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if you want. Make a big ball out of the cookie dough and put it on the baking sheet that has been prepared. Slowly press down on the dough to make it about 1/2 inch thick and the shape of a big cookie. After the oven is hot, bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are set and the middle is still a little soft. After taking the cookie out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Then, move it to a wire rack to cool all the way down. Putting the cookie in a pretty box or tin to give as a gift is easy once it's completely cool.
