Mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla. Add the softened margarine and rub it in with your fingers. Add the water mixture and mix until combined, but do not knead. Let the dough rest for 2 hours.

For the filling, mix the date paste with a spoonful of margarine, cinnamon, and a little oil.

Divide the dough into small balls and the filling into even smaller balls.

Flatten a ball of dough, shape the date filling into a log, place it in the center, roll up the dough, form into a ring, and decorate the top with a fork or special tool. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Bake in the oven until golden on the bottom, then brown the tops.
