These cookies are delicious and healthy. They are low in sugar, so the carbohydrates come in large part from the nut components of the cookies. I originally developed them as a low carbohydrate dessert, but they are so good that you would never know. The salt brings out the sweetness of the sugar.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Separately, beat the egg and add the peanut butter and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix (you may want to use your hands). Divide in half and then repeat until you have 8 sections of dough. Roll each section into a ball. Lay the balls out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a fork to gently push each cookie down, making a cross pattern (see image). Bake for 10 minutes. Gently move the cookies to a cooling tray as soon as they are done baking.
