Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream the vegan butter and caster sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and almond milk, and mix until well combined.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the butter mixture and stir until the dough comes together. If the dough seems too dry, add an additional tablespoon of almond milk.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth.
Roll the dough out to about 3mm thickness and use a circular cookie cutter to cut out circles. Use a smaller cutter to cut out a hole in the center of half of the cookies.
Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are just starting to turn a light golden color.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, spread a teaspoon of raspberry jam onto the center of each whole cookie. Top with the cookies with the holes to form a sandwich, pressing gently to secure.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
