Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract. Stir well to incorporate.
Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and stir until fully combined. The dough will be soft but manageable.
If desired, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the optional 1/4 cup of granulated sugar for a sparkling finish.
Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Avoid overbaking for the best texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your freshly baked gluten-free peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
