Instructions

Mix together oat flour, egg, and applesauce.
Separate half of the dough into another small bowl
Incorporate the natural coloring into one half of the dough, until the desired color is reached. *add extra oat flour to the dough if the coloring has too much liquid in it.
Gently knead and roll out the dough separately
Using a knife, cut lines lengthwise like the picture:
Switch out every other strip so that the dough is striped red/white. Use a rolling pin to meld all the pieces together.
Using cookie cutters of choice, cut out cookie shapes
