The offset path tool is new for me, I just used it a couple times and it works really well for me. But since a day ago every time I use it, it creates 2 paths, or maybe 1 big path.
Let's say I'm trying to make an offset path, 1 inch bigger that the original. When I open up the Offset Path window, click on preview, then write 1 inch in the Offset cage, it shows me two paths, as on the image below.
How do I change it to get just one path or vector?

The Offset path command in the Object Menu duplicates the original path in a new location. This is how it works.
If you only want to move the original path, without duplicating it, choose Effect > Path > Offset Path...
Your shape is an open path that's why it offset allover itself. try to close that path and it will solve the problem.
In the two examples below, the right star is an opened path from the top while the left star is a closed one.
