When you make biscuits (the kind in the US that are sort of like light weight scones or shortbread, not the UK "cookies"), you pat or roll out the dough into a sheet and then cut the round biscuits from the dough. When you cut them, because the dough is tender, you need a nice clean and straight edge that cuts sharply or the sides will pinch together and the biscuits then will not rise properly during baking. Some people say you can cut the biscuits with the rim of a drinking glass, but that pushes the edges together at the bottom, "sealing" them, and then they can end up like hockey pucks instead of biscuits.
The tool for the job of cutting biscuits properly is called a biscuit cutter. They usually have a handle on top of a round aluminum form with straight sides that will easily cut through the dough without pinching. Some of them also have a center smaller round piece that is removable. You put it in place when you want to cut out doughnuts and the center circle cuts out the doughnut holes all in one motion.
