Mix the butter, egg, powdered sugar, and vegetable oil in a wide bowl until creamy.
Add the flour, baking powder, and vanillin and knead a soft dough that does not stick to the hand.
Shape the dough into two thick logs, press the tops lightly, and cut into 3 cm pieces.
Arrange the pieces spaced apart on a tray lined with baking paper.
Bake Erzincan lokumu at 170°C for 28 minutes, keeping it pale.
Rest on the tray for 12 minutes and do not move the hot cookies right away because they are fragile.
Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar.
💡 Tip: The butter should be soft at room temperature; melted fat spreads the dough and spoils the sharp edges of the lokum.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve Erzincan lokumu warm with powdered sugar, with unsweetened Turkish coffee or light tea on the side.
