In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining dry ingredients. On low speed, gradually add them to the butter mixture and mix until incorporated. Add water, a few drops at a time, only until the dough starts to come away from the sides of the bowl.
Scrape the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and use the wrap, not your fingers, to press the dough together to form a thick flat disc. Wrap it well and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably no longer than 3.
Place two oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dought to a 1/3 inch thickness. Cut shapes, using your favorite Christmas cookie cutters. With a small, angled metal spatula transfer the cookies to a non-stick or greased cookie sheets.
Reroll the scraps, chilling them first, if necessary.
Bake for 8-12 minutes or until the cokkies begin to brown around the edges. For even baking, rotate the cookie sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through the baking period.
Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool before decorating. Makes about 4 dozen 3-inch cookies.
