Something like that into a stud??
I have the same situation. I've boarded up a few times, and the first couple of times I was in a hurry and I just screwed directly through the plywood into the stucco around the window. Yes, it left holes after I took it off, but it works, though you do need to have plywood that's larger than the window opening. To do that, I bought Tapcon screws like these. They're made to screw into concrete and anchor something. The packs of these screws also come with a drill bit that works on concrete. It's easier if you have a hammer drill, but that's not required. So I'd just drill straight through the plywood into the stucco in each corner(ish), then screw those blue screws in. I think I did that for two different hurricanes back in 2004 (I'm in Orlando) and it worked fine.
Later, to stop putting holes in my house every time I boarded up, I put in some bolts sort of like these (I can't find exactly what I used) that are threaded on both ends. Then you just slide the plywood over the holes (assuming you drilled matching holes in the plywood) and put a wing nut over it to lock it down. The bolts I got came in a set with the wing nuts and even with rubber covers for the exposed inch or two of bolt to keep the threads clean. Yes, I've got these white pegs sticking out of the corners near my windows, but it is pretty easy to put the boards up now.

I would probably do eight, three on the top, three on the bottom, then one in the middle on the sides. Might go up to 3/8", this is just the first search results of the appropriate kind of parts I was looking for. If you're fancy, you can even get wing nuts for the outside nut to allow it to be hand openable.
