To make these delicious treats, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

This recipe makes about 24 Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Stars.
To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a fork to press down on each ball, creating a criss-cross pattern on the top.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.
Dip each cookie halfway into the melted chocolate, then place them on a sheet of wax paper to set. Once the chocolate has hardened, serve and enjoy!
These Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Stars are the perfect combination of sweet and salty, with a rich peanut butter flavor and a smooth chocolate coating. They're sure to be a hit with anyone who tries them!
