Basic White Sugar Cookie Dough

This cookie dough is the base for Snickerdoodles, Toffee Softies, and Double Ginger Wonders. A classic and simple drop cookie can be so satisfying, whatever its variation (though Snickerdoodles, seem to be the universal favourite.) Before making any of the cookies for which this dough serves as a base, read the specific cookie recipe itself to see if additions need to be made to this basic dough recipe.
