In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the cold and cubed vegan butter.
Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water while stirring with a fork, just until the dough begins to come together.
Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In another bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese, shredded vegan mozzarella, chives, parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry dough to about 1/8-inch thick.
Cut the dough into 4-inch squares using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.
Place a spoonful of the cheese and herb mixture in the center of each square.
Fold each square over to form a triangle, sealing the edges by pressing with a fork.
Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil and plant-based milk mixture for a golden brown finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and flaky.
Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
