Ever since I was little, one of my favorite holiday traditions has been to spend hours painstakingly lovingly decorating cut-out Christmas cookies. And while not a year passes without an afternoon spent doing just that, sometimes a quick fix is in order.

Enter: these chewy, supereasy sugar cookies, aka the lazy girl's sugar cookies. Brushed with buttermilk and sprinkled with red and green sanding sugar or perky nonpareils, they're a quick-fix festive treat; no refrigerating of dough, painstaking rolling, stamping out, and decorating needed.
