Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Soften the butter. In a mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter and

together the flour and salt and gradually add them to the creamed
mixture, on low speed. Add water, a few drops at a time, until the

Cut out chile pepper shapes, using a cookie cutter or freehand.
Transfer shapes to greased or nonstick cookie sheets.

Using a few drops of food coloring at a time, color the egg yolk in
each cup, as desired. Using a small, clean paint brush, paint the
chile pepper red and its stem green.

Bake 8-12 minutes or until the cookies begin to brown around the
edges. Dust with red or green sprinkles if desired.
