Preheat oven, prep baking sheet, and mix ingredients: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together peanut butter, egg, sugar, baking soda, vanilla, if using, and salt until well combined.
Scoop dough onto baking sheet: Using a 1 ¾-inch scoop, scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
Make crosshatch pattern on cookies: Using the tines of a fork, gently press down on each scoop in a crosshatch pattern.
Sprinkle with sugar and bake: Sprinkle with sugar and transfer baking sheet to oven. Bake until slightly puffed, 11 to 12 minutes. Cookies will still be soft. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Cool: Carefully transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely.
