Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, cream the vegan butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the almond milk and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to make an indent in the center of each cookie dough ball.
Fill each indent with approximately 1/2 teaspoon of jam.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
