Just wondering if you double your proficiency bonus or you skill proficiency bonus. The book refers to both as proficiency bonus. So I’m having a hard time figure this out.
"choose two of your skill proficiencies[...]. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies."
You're doubling your proficiency bonus, when you make a skill check (or thieves tools check) with one of the skills you picked. So if you have +3 DEX and +2 prof bonus, and have expertise in Sleight of Hand, instead of +3+2, your math is +3+2+2.

There's no such thing as a "skill proficiency bonus". Expertise doubles your proficiency bonus, which is a number from 2 to 6 depending on your level, for a given set of ability checks. In the case of Rogues, the set is the ones you select from skills you are proficient in and thieves' tools.
