1/2 brown sugar 1/2 white sugar is perfect, not too sweet but sweet enough. Also I do extra strawberries (almost two cups) and 1/2 tsp almond extract.
I love doing this recipe the night before and bake in the morning. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes or so, then bring down to 350 for the rest of the time to get those high peaks you see at bakeries. Everyone raves when I make these!!
