Preparation Steps

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and softened butter until crumbly.
Transfer the mixture to the baking pan and press it firmly to form a crust. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
Prepare the strawberry filling by hulling and chopping the strawberries; mix with sugar and flour.
Spread the strawberry filling over the cooled crust and top with reserved crumb mixture.
Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Cool the bars completely, then mix powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to create the glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the bars, smoothing it out before slicing.
