I am fortunate that my dual ovens are wall mounted. But, my friend John, who is
87 and has Parkinson's has trouble getting down and up to do baking, etc. So,
another friend (Les) and I got him a mechanic's stool for his birthday last
summer and he says it has been a "God send" to his kitchen efforts.

Keep in mind that as an Auto Zone employee I get 20% discount. And this
purchase fell into one of the twice-a-year periods when we get an additional
10% off. So the price was just over U$50 taxes and all.

  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 chile-head recipe.

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

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