Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add egg yolks and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.

Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them slightly.

Place a small piece of guava paste in the center of each flattened ball and fold the dough around it.

Roll the filled dough into a ball again and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
