Polka-Dot Linzertorte Recipe – This recipe, from Lauren Bank Deen’s “Kitchen Playdates” cookbook, is one the kids can help out with. It makes an enormous torte, which will keep for a week.
Most kids can help measure the ingredients, pulse the food processor (under supervision), mix the dough, and press it into a pan. They can also punch out the polka dots with cookie cutters, crack the eggs, and make the glaze.

NOTES: If you don’t have a 12-inch tart pan, you can press the dough into a smaller size tart pan, and use the remaining dough to make cookies. Just remember to reduce the final baking time. An 8-inch tart pan will take about 30 to 35 minutes, and a 10-inch, about 40 to 45 minutes.
