1. 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. 2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

3. 3. Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

4. 4. Shape the cookies using one of the following methods: Roll the dough into a log, press it into a baking pan, or scoop it into balls.

5. 5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.

6. 6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
