Transfer tinted batter to a pastry bag fitted with a small plain round tip (such as Ateco #2). Secure end of pastry bag with rubber band. Set aside.
Put a 3×6-inch rectangle (cut out a stencil to use as a guide) on a baking sheet lined with a Silpat baking mat. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of plain batter into the rectangle, and spread with a small offset spatula. Repeat.
Pipe diagonal tinted stripes onto each rectangle. Bake cookies for 6 to 8 minutes, until pale golden.
Immediately loosen edges with a spatula, and flip cookie over. Starting from one long side, roll cookie into a stick.
Place, seam side down, on a clean work surface; let cool until set. Quickly repeat with second cookie.
Repeat process, tinting and baking 2 or 3 cookies at a time. Cookies can be stored between layers of parchment in airtight containers at room temperature up to 1 week.
