Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.25 cups of granulated sugar, and 0.25 cups of light brown sugar. Whisk until well blended.
- Melt 0.5 cups of salted butter and let it cool slightly, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until crumbly.
- Press about two-thirds of the crumb mixture into the prepared pan evenly and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly golden.
- In another bowl, toss 2 cups of chopped fresh strawberries with 0.25 cups of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of flour.
- Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the cooled crust and sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture on top.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack and prepare the glaze by whisking together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang, slice into 12 squares, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
