Directions:

In a large bowl beat butter, sugar, & egg until creamy. Add flavoring. Mix.

Divide butter mixture into 3 equal parts, putting each in its own bowl. Add red coloring to one bowl, yellow coloring to another, and green coloring to the last bowl. Mix [remember to use different forks for each to avoid mixing colors].

Into each bowl add 1 cup sifted flour. Mix by hand using a fork. Stir in 1/3 cup raw oatmeal into each bowl. Mixture will be thick. Using hands, mold dough into egg shapes 1 - 1 1/2 inches in diameter [first roll into a ball, then gently shape one end to resemble small end of an egg].

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place close together, but not touching, on a large ungreased cookie sheet [all 3 colors my be baked at same time on same sheet]. Bake for 25 minutes. Cool on a rack.
