Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the lactose-free margarine and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed margarine and sugar mixture. Mix until the dough starts to form. If the dough is too dry, add the plant-based milk and mix again until it holds together.
Using a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop, portion the dough and roll it into small balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball.
Gently flatten each ball with the back of a fork or your fingertips to form a disc shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as the cookies will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, store the Vanilla Crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
