Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat 100 grams of dairy-free margarine and 50 grams of caster sugar together until pale and creamy.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the margarine mixture and mix well.
Sift together 100 grams of all-purpose flour, 50 grams of cornflour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed margarine mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 0.5 cm thickness.
Use a cookie cutter to cut shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
For the filling, beat together 50 grams of dairy-free margarine and 100 grams of powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the filling mixture and mix until combined.
Once the biscuits are cool, spread or pipe a small amount of the filling onto the underside of one biscuit and sandwich with another biscuit.
Repeat with the remaining biscuits and filling. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
