  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In the bowl of a standing mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter or oil and sugar. Mix in the flour, salt, and baking powder, then the vanilla and the tahina.
  3. Roll the dough into balls about the size of a large marble and put on the parchment-lined baking sheets. Press an almond in the center of each, slightly flattening the cookies.
  4. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through, until lightly golden and beginning to crisp.
