Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter an 8 inch square pan. Set aside.

For the cookie bottom:
In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Using a wooden spoon mix in flour. Add oats and continue to mix. Spoon base mixture onto prepared pan and spread out evenly.

Spread the preserves on top.

For the streusel topping: Place flour, oats, and brown sugar in a food processor. Mix on low speed for about 10 seconds. Add butter and pulse about 6 times or until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Sprinkle streusel on top of preserves.

Bake in preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until edges start to brown.

Remove from oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.
