Mix the butter, vegetable oil, tahini, yogurt, egg, and sugar in a large bowl.
Add the flour, baking powder, dry yeast, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and ground cloves, then knead a soft dough.
Rest the dough covered for 20 minutes, so the spice aroma spreads through it.
Tear off pieces larger than a walnut, press them into the mold, and coat with sesame.
Arrange the cookies on a tray and bake at 180°C for 22 minutes, until the bottoms and edges brown.
Take the tray out of the oven and wait 10 minutes so the cookies firm up without breaking.
Move the cookies to a wire rack and serve once completely cool.
💡 Tip: If you do not have a kombe mold, cut the dough with a tea glass and mark the top with a fork; plenty of sesame makes the Osmaniye aroma clearer at home.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Cool the kombe completely and serve it like a holiday treat with Turkish coffee or cinnamon milk if desired.
