Christmas foodie gifts: Melek Erdal's spicy Turkish shortbread (kurabiye) recipes
Briefly

A note on mahlep: this aromatic spice, made from the ground kernels of a type of cherry, is often used in Mediterranean baking and adds a subtle sweetness and a buttery, moreish aftertaste. If you can't find it, use almond essence instead.
In a bowl, whisk the butter, oil, vinegar, icing sugar, salt and mahlep, if using. Add 100ml room-temperature water, the baking powder and flour, then mix with your hands until the mix comes together into a soft dough.
