Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the dough forms a cohesive texture.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion out the dough into 12 equal-sized balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball.
Press down gently on each cookie ball with a fork in a crisscross pattern to slightly flatten the cookies and create the classic peanut butter cookie design.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as they will continue to firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your gluten-free, dairy-free peanut butter cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
