Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

I was looking to try some gluten free cookies and came upon this recipe.  As I am still savoring the taste from my "sample", I can attest these turned out good.  The entire batch only made one tray of cookies, but they were delicious.  The recipe called for one cup of sugar.  Since my peanut butter was sweetened enough, I decreased the amt of sugar down to 1/2 cup. 

1 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven.

In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, vanilla and egg until well combined. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the mixture about 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten the mounds with the tines of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies. Sprinkle coarse salt on top of the cookies.

Bake until golden around the edges, about 10 minutes, switching the position of the sheets halfway through baking. (I skipped this part)  Let sit on cookie sheet until cool.  Some reviewers complained that the cookie broke apart when transferred warm.  Transfer to racks to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough.
