Preheat the #oven{} to 310 ºF.

In a #stand mixer{}, add @aquafaba{1/3*%cup} and @cream of tartar{1/4*%tsp}.

Mix on low for ~{1%minute}.

Mix on medium for ~{2%minutes}.

Raise speed to high and start adding @sugar{66*%g} slowly over ~{3%minutes}.

Keep mixing until you have stiff peaks for ~{3%minutes}.

Sift together @powdered sugar{110*%g} and @almond flour{110*%g}.

Fold the dry ingredients into your whipped aquafaba with a #rubber spatula{}. Use consistent "J" motions. Keep mixing until you can take a big scoop, hang your spatula, and see it flow off the spatula slowly and relatively smoothly.

If desired, add @red food coloring{2*%drops}.

Transfer your mixture to a #piping bag{}. Pipe into \~24 circles on to a #baking sheet{} lined with a #silicon baking mat{} or #parchment paper{}.

After piping, pick up your sheet and drop it on the table a few times. Take a #toothpick{} and pop any bubbles you see.

Let rest for ~{15%minutes}, until the shells feel dry to the touch.

Bake for ~{20%minutes} total, rotating the sheet every ~{5%minutes}.

Let them cool completely.

Put @strawberry jam{1*%cup} into a piping bag, pipe onto a cookie, and sandwich another on top.
