Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt (if using unsalted butter). Add melted butter and vanilla; stir until crumbly.
Press two-thirds of the mixture into the pan for the crust and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
Combine strawberries, granulated sugar, and flour in another bowl; layer over the cooled crust.
Crumble the remaining crust mixture on top and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool completely before drizzling with a glaze made of powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla.
