Ingredients:

For the Peach Filling:

• 2 large ripe peaches, peeled and finely diced
  
  

• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  
  

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  
  

• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  
  

• 1 tablespoon water
  
  

For the Streusel Topping:

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  
  

• 1/4 cup rolled oats
  
  

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  
  

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  
  

For the Cookie Dough:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  
  

• 1 cup granulated sugar
  
  

• 1 large egg
  
  

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
  

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  
  

• 1/4 teaspoon salt
  
  

Directions:

1. Prepare the Peach Filling: In a small saucepan, combine the diced peaches, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the peaches release their juices. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the peaches and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the filling thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
   
   

2. Make the Streusel Topping: In a bowl, combine the flour, oats, and brown sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
   
   

3. Prepare the Cookie Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

4. Assemble the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the cookie dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, create a small indentation in the center of each cookie. Fill each indentation with a small spoonful of the peach filling. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the peach filling.

5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
