In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add water and
vanilla; mix well. Gradually add flour; fold in pecans.
Divide dough in half.

Add the ingredients for each colour cookie to the halves
of mix. Do not increase the amounts of ground chile - we
do not want to light up anyone here. Just let them know
this is a chilehead recipe.

Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Place on ungreased baking
sheets and flatten with fingers. Bake at 300ºF/150ºC for
20 - 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

When cool, dust with confectioners' sugar and sprinkle
with appropriate colour sprinkles.
