Cookies/pizza dough basic recipe?

I’ve looked at a site for cooking, but it assumes you already know the basics and has extra tips. Does anyone here have a basic recipe for these two?

1. How can I make butter biscuits (cookies)? Your basic ones, not cinammon, not chocolate chip, just basic butter taste. I want to make a run first and then I can improvise from there.

2. Same with pizza. I used to make my own dough, but forgot how. It always comes out too hard. Any tips? Once again, just the basic idea, and I’ll work on it.

Thanks in advance.
