Preheat the oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the melted vegan butter, almond milk, sugar, baking powder, vanilla, and salt together. Add the flour and mix in until a thick cookie dough forms.
Use your hands to roll about two tablespoons of dough per cookie into a ball and place it onto the baking sheet. Repeat, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie dough ball, until all of the cookie dough has been used. You may need to use two baking sheets or do this in two batches.
Use your thumb or the base of a tablespoon measuring spoon to create a divot in the center of each cookie. Add about 1 ½ teaspoon of jam into the center of each cookie dough ball. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool.
Option to sprinkle the top of the cookies while they are still warm with sugar before serving.
