Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the vegan butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
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 butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Add the plant-based milk, one tablespoon at a time, and continue to mix until a dough forms. The dough should be smooth and hold its shape without crumbling.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/2 cm thickness.
Using a cookie cutter, cut out your desired shapes and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a bit of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
