Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until creamy. Beat in the egg yolk and the vanilla extract.

Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and using your thumb make an indent in the center of each ball. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and dent each cookie again. Return to the oven and bake another 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack. When cool, fill the centers with the following butter frosting.
