Having been making variations on this one for three years and having had the raw-gritty-taste myself, here's the one I've been using with decent success.
Preheat oven to 350.
Cup of peanut butter/almond butter/honestly, nut-based butter (insert 4 year old laughter here) of your choice 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon of either baking soda (this is what I've currently been using) or baking powder Up to 1 cup of sugar-version of your choice to taste; I had massive grit when I was going with a full one cup and it was too damned dry(I've been using about 1/2 to 3/4 cup cane sugar at the moment)
Don't start by mixing the egg; start by mixing the egg and the peanut butter together until the peanut butter's pliable and wet. Then add the other ingredients.
When you deposit it on greased tinfoil/pan/parchment, press the dough down with the tines of your fork. Sprinkle with sugar if you want. (I haven't been; no damned spoons.) Don't bake for more than 8 to _maybe_ 9 minutes. 10 minutes is legit too long.
They will look not done! Do not be fooled! You do not want that extra minute! (She says, having done this her own damned self this week, and half-ruined peanut butter cookies.) Let them rest until they mostly-cool.
