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" balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets and
flatten with fingers. Bake at 300?F/150?C for 20 to 25 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack.

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