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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Get frosting in the little squeeze tubes. You can get them with tips if you want. Get some colored sugar and nonpareils if making sugar cookies. They also make little snowflakes, flowers, etc.
Use the frosting on the gingerbread men after they bake and the sprinkles on the sugar cookies before you bake.
If you don't want to deal with making from scratch, you can use packages mixes because a lot of the fun is in decorating.
Put flour on the cutting board and rolling pin before rolling the dough out. Otherwise follow baking recommendations but check the cookies a few minutes early because all ovens are different.
Oh also make them all the same thickness per sheet or they won't bake evenly.

I bake cookies probably every other weekend. I have the tollhouse chocolate chip cookie recipe memorized and can do it with my eyes closed (though I add cornstarch, which makes them chewier).
That said, I consider baking cookies to involve anything that goes in the oven. Do what works for you.
I bake chocolate chip cookies a lot (tollhouse, and Sally's Baking recipes), sugar cookies (usually cinnamon sugar, not decorated), homemade caramels, toffee, and sugar pecans during the holidays. On occasion the afore-mentioned Oreo truffles, but only because my dad likes them.

From scratch. It isn’t hard. Seriously. Just look up some recipes and pick one that seems doable. Don’t buy the boxed mix.

Baked really makes you put something in the oven. Buy the premade dough and put it in the oven. Don’t overthink this.
