Poverty Cookies

The other day I bought The Green Tomato Cookbook on clearance at Goodwill. I've never really cooked with green tomatoes, but I thought it would be fun to see what it had. This recipe looked appropriate:

Poverty Cookies

2 c. flour
1 1/3 c. sugar
1/2 t. salt
1 t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. powdered lemon peel
3 T. soy grits (I would assume corn would be fine)
2 c. quick cooking oats
1 c. ground and drained green tomatoes (reserve juice)
2/3 c. vegetable oil
1 t. vanilla
Milk plus reserved tomato juice to equal 2/3 cup

Mix dry ingredients. Add rest of ingredients. (May need more flour if tomatoes are very juicy) Mix. Drop from teaspoon on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Makes 5 dozen.
