Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Microwave the flour in a small microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Remove and stir well. Microwave for an additional minute or until the temperature reaches 180 degree F. Sift in a medium bowl, then whisk in the baking powder and salt (see Cook's Note).
- Beat the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, yogurt and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture, and mix on low speed until well incorporated. (Turn off the mixer and use your hands to help combine if needed.)
- Scoop tablespoonfuls of the dough, and roll them into smooth balls. Put them on the prepared baking sheet, and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
- Melt the chocolate chips and shortening in a medium microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the coating is smooth and thin. Drop the chilled balls into the coating, and roll them around with a fork to fully coat. Remove each truffle with the fork, letting any excess coating drip off, and return to the baking sheet. (If the coating begins to harden, microwave it for a few seconds to warm it up and thin it out.) Chill the truffles until the coating is completely set, about 1 hour. (The truffles can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.)

Tips:
- Use creamy peanut butter: For a smooth and creamy truffle, use creamy peanut butter. Chunky peanut butter will give the truffles a gritty texture.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will make it easier to work with and prevent the truffles from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop is the easiest way to get uniform-sized truffles. If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a spoon to measure out the dough.
- Don't overbake the truffles: The truffles are done when they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the truffles cool completely: Let the truffles cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate set properly.
- Use a variety of toppings: You can use a variety of toppings to decorate the truffles, such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or melted chocolate.
Conclusion:
Peanut butter cookie truffles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. With their creamy peanut butter filling and chocolate coating, these truffles are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
