In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, vegetable oil, and white vinegar. Mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take small pieces of dough and shape them into desired forms, such as crescents, rounds, or sticks. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the cookies with egg yolk, then sprinkle with sesame seeds or nigella seeds if desired.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
Once cooled, serve the Sirkeli Tuzlu Kurabiye with tea or as a savory snack. These cookies store well in an airtight container, maintaining their crunch for days.
