1 cup sugar free natural peanut butter (READ THE LABEL!)
3 Tbsp Splenda (or to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 tsp salt (if not an ingredient in the peanut butter)
1/2 cup almond flour (see Cook's Notes)
1/2 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 325 F

In the bowl of your mixer add peanut butter, Splenda and villa extract. Mix to combine.
Add egg. Mix again and scrape down sides of the bowl
Add salt, flour and baking soda. Mix thoroughly.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
Scoop cookie dough and roll into 3/4" balls
Pat out cookies and press with fork (to make the pretty cross-hatch design)

Bake approximately 10 minutes until cookies are crisp.

Cook's Notes: There are a several possible substitutes for the almond flour. Peanut flour works well if you can find it. Golden Flax meal makes an excellent cookie. Coconut flour works well but you need to add a bit of oil or butter to get the correct texture.
Add cocoa powder and a pinch more salt to make Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
