If you want to do sugar cookies, instead of bagging and squeezing frosting thin it out a bit and let kids paint it on.

Wilton sells royal icing in a squeeze bottle in a whole bunch of colors. It's pretty runny, but my kids have a lot of fun with it.

Use the log of pre-made sugar cookie dough from the grocery store. Slice into circle cookies. Buy pre-made white cake icing. Put into 3 bowls. Add green food dye to one bowl and red to one bowl. 3 colors to use! Next, buy a ton of white, green and red sprinkles.
My kids go nuts with this. We end up with SO MANY COOKIES (I do 2 logs) that I immediately make plates to send to the neighbors. They look like garbage usually, but taste delicious, as long as super sweet cookies/icing are your thing.
Thanks!
Do you have a favorite store-bought cookie dough?

Cut-outs are a pain in the ass, and only look good with practice. Can you get the refrigerated logs of dough ?

Peanut butter blossoms. 
If you want to decorate just get a cookie decorating kit or a premade gingerbread house and let them go to town.

They don't need to be perfect just taste good. Find a kit online somewhere with stencils to help with decorating

My kids want to bake/decorate Christmas cookies - this is something I did poorly in the past but want to make it more memorable & successful. Any tip for someone who have not spend a lot of time in the kitchen & bake maybe once a year during Christmas to please my kids?
