- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add egg yolks and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt, then gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Chill the dough covered for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Roll the chilled dough into tablespoon-sized balls, then roll each in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Make an indentation in the center of each ball using your thumb or the handle of a spoon.
- Fill each indentation with a generous amount of apple butter.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden brown, then cool on a wire rack.
- Enjoy your cookies with a warm drink or as a sweet treat!

Notes
Ensure butter is at room temperature for easy mixing and refrigerate the dough to maintain shape while baking.
