Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the natural creamy peanut butter and erythritol sweetener. Stir until well mixed and the sweetener is dissolved.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt to the peanut butter mixture. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Gently flatten each ball with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern on the top of the cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges become lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
