Baked cookies

OP, just start easy. If your family enjoys it you can proceed to mixes, recipes, etc.
Start with refrigerated sugar cookies and some colored sprinkles to add before they go in the oven. Baking them in makes them stick on.
Then you can try a simple icing.

Safeway or Target have nonstick cookie sheets.

Whatever you want.

I grew up in a "mix from a box" house and my brother and I would do it ourselves. Good times.

Now I make that delicious Jacque Torres chocolate chip cookie dough (https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1015819-chocolate-chip-cookies) maybe every month and keep it refrigerated and bake as needed.

I bake every week for my family. Just starting out I'd go with the recipes on the Tollhouse bag or buy a Betty Crocker Sugar cookie mix. Do that a couple of times then start to branch out. I agree with others that anything you stick in oven and bake is good!

Baked cookies meaning 1) make from scratch with flour 2) make from cookie box/cookie kit 3) make from those cookie dough, all you need is cut them & bake it.

I want to do it with my kids, but I don't know how to start the tradition of " baked cookies".

Truly. I am not being a smart a$$ but go to local library and check out cookbook for cooking with children and look for Cookie recipes. If you have a box of oatmeal there is a recipe on box for oatmeal cookies. Buy a bag of chocolate chips and recipe is on bag.
Stick with these simple cook from scratch cookies and you won't go wrong.

Have fun and Merry Christmas.

You define what it means. We merely do the Pillsbury slice and bake chocolate chip cookies.

We let our elementary school kids help with slicing (with a butter knife, so it is not sharp) and putting them on the metal baking sheet.
