Can you bake sugar cookies without having to roll them and cut them in different shapes? Will just plopping them on the cookie sheet work just as good?

Depends upon the recipe. Some sugar cookies are designed to be rolled out and cut into shapes--they have a sturdier texture and more flour. Others are designed to bake and eat as they come out of the oven, less flour, although you can ice them if you like.
AMISH SUGAR COOKIES
In a bowl, mix together well:
1 cup sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter, room temp
1 cup oil
2 large eggs, room temp
In another bowl, mix well:
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. Baking Soda
4½ cups flour
Combine the ingredients to one bowl, mix well, cover and chill for at least 4 hours.
When ready to bake, flour hands, then shape dough into balls and place on baking sheet.
Take a chilled glass and dip bottom in sugar. Flatten each cookie. Sprinkle with colored sugar if you want.
Bake at preheated 350ºF until the edges are golden brown.

If you don't care about how they look, then just plop them as you say, and flatten the dough a bit. Remember the thicker the mound you make or whatever you'll need to bake them a little bit longer.

Yes you can...make sure there is a lot of space between the cookies though since they spread out a lot when baking.

It will work, but they won't have a solid consistency---they will come out rather "crumbly".......
sugar cookie mix also makes a good cobbler topping.

Yeah as long as your cookies are evenly spread out!
