Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, the large egg, and the salt. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a cohesive dough.

Place the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a shallow dish. Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the sugar dish to coat evenly.

Arrange the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Using the tines of a fork, gently flatten each cookie ball in a crisscross pattern.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set. The cookies will still be soft when removed from the oven.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and prevents breakage.
