Toss the strawberries together with ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, the almond extract, and ¼ cup sugar. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes.
Place the butter in a 9X13-inch baking dish. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 5 minutes or until the butter has melted. Remove the baking dish from the oven and set aside.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining sugar. Add the milk, heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix until combined.
Pour the cobbler batter into the baking dish. Spread it to the edges but do not mix. Scatter the strawberries over the top of the batter.
Bake for 1 hour or until the batter is cooked through.
