Pick the bunch
When you pick the fruit try to get the whole bunch. If you try
to pick individual berries it is really hard to get the flowers
of the berries and the fruits get damaged.

Clip off the flowers
Use a pair of scissors to trim of the flowers. If you try to
pull them off, half the fruit comes of with them.

Clip off the berries
Use the scissors to trim the berries from the stem.
Wash them in cold water. ( warm water with cause fruit
to burst.)
Dry them off so they won't make the cookies soggy.
Fill each cookie with about a Tablespoon of berries.
Serve with wiped cream, vanilla ice cream, or as is.
