    MMMMM------------------------BASE COOKIES-----------------------------
    2 c Butter; softened
    1 c Confectioner’s sugar

    4 ts Vanilla extract
    4 c Flour

    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.
