Easy one!
I have not ___ (verb)
I do not have ___ (noun)
Eg. I have not finished. I have not read it. I have not eaten yet.
(Can also be shortened to 'I haven't finished')
Eg. I do not have a book. I do not have a car. I do not have a cat.
(Can also be shortened to 'I don't have a car)
Hope that helps :)

I have not cooked. = No he cocinado. =No haber hecho algo
I do not have a kitchen. = No tengo una cocina. = No tener algo

Well, auxiliary verbs can take "not". Main verbs cannot. The thing is, "have" can work as a main verb or an auxiliary verb.
When you see "have not/haven't", it's usually an auxiliary verb, and another verb follows it to show the main action (see Maddie's examples). You see this in present perfect grammar.
When you see "do not have/don't have", you understand "have" as the main action.
