Yes! Bake them a day ahead and store at room temp; reheat for a minute in the oven or microwave for freshness.
Frozen strawberries work well—just thaw, drain, and squeeze excess water.
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in a sealed container or zip‑lock pouch to keep them moist.
Overmixing the dough or baking at too high a temperature can dry them out. Keep the dough cold and bake at the listed 400°F for 18‑20 minutes.
