Hurried Parent Hack
Buy refrigerated cookie dough, decorate and bake. If you don't even have time for that check your grocer's bakery department for some large cookies, then just skip to the the ice cream step.
Squish a scoop of softened ice cream between two of the cooled cookies, then roll in holiday sprinkles and refreeze.
