Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually stir in the flour until combined.
Press about two-thirds of the dough into the bottom of the prepared dish.
Spread chopped strawberries evenly over the dough, adding extra sugar if desired.
Crumble remaining dough over the strawberries.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

For varied flavors, try using other fruits like blueberries or raspberries.

Ensure not to overmix the dough; mix until just combined for tender bars.

Store leftovers in an airtight container; they can last up to three days at room temperature or one week in the refrigerator.
