The basic dough for butter cookies, sugar cookies, and holiday cookies is made like a sweetened pie dough with extra butter and a little baking powder to make it richer and lighter. This dough can be shaped with your hands—as shown for the jelly cookies on the facing page—or rolled out with a pin as shown for the holiday cookies. Remember to always keep this dough cold.
