This cookie recipe is tomato juice sent us Belik Elena, 40 years old, economist, mother of two adult sons.

“When I was a student, it was our custom to prepare for exams using our own method, as it seemed to us then. Naturally, like all students, we did this in the last days before the exam. We had never heard of the Internet then, it was problematic to buy a textbook, I had to sit in the library.

To make the task easier for myself, three friends and I divided the exam papers into 4 parts and each of us prepared only her own piece of questions, then we gathered at my house and tried to learn it all together in the evening and night. To stay awake we drank tea and coffee. And so, on another night of joint training, I began to simply fall asleep on a stool, sitting in the kitchen. No matter how my friends tried to motivate me, nothing worked and I was in danger of being left unprepared and failing the exam.

In the end, the girls simply forcibly lifted me up and offered to combine business with pleasure - bake them something for tea so that I wouldn’t sleep and they wouldn’t die of hunger. In those days, it was 1992, not only with textbooks, but also with food, not everything was great, so there were no special culinary delights expected.

We decided to bake a pie - poor student, who remembers, he baked. And so I open the pantry and realize that I’ve run out of jam.

I look at the shelves with canned goods and voice what I can bake them a pie with - tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, tomato juice... All this, of course, with laughter and humor. And then one of the girls said: “I heard that they also bake cookies from tomato juice.” Everyone laughed, each of us did not miss the opportunity to joke about this, funny ideas arose on the topic of “salted zucchini in glaze” and “pickled cucumbers in caramel,” but we decided to try it.

Since no one really knew the recipe, we decided to take the same “Poor Student” as a basis, only add tomato juice instead of jam, and add sugar to avoid it being sour. Then they immediately remembered that they make jam from tomatoes, so why can’t they bake a pie with them?

The dream passed as if it had never happened. While I was listening carefully to the exam question, I slightly overdid it with flour, and the pie dough turned out too hard. Without thinking twice, I added more flour and decided to make cookies. Cookies with tomato juice It turned out surprisingly tasty and there was a lot of it. By the way, all four of us passed the exam that day with excellent marks.

I liked this tomato cookies and my little son, it has taken root in my family and that’s what everyone calls it - thanks to international economic relations, it was precisely this subject that we prepared for. Later I found a lot various recipes based on tomato juice, but the exam version still remains in use: "

It will undoubtedly evoke different emotions in those who try it. But since some members of my family devoured tomato Lenten cookies on tomato juice, the recipe with a photo of which you see below, with pleasure, I dared to offer it to the judgment of others.

Although the original source recommends using store-bought tomato juice and even tomato paste diluted with water, I don’t risk it. Thanks to the fact that there is juice homemade, the experiment will be 100% more successful. Be sure to pay attention to this one too.

However, this recipe can be adjusted in your own way. You can sprinkle cookies sesame seeds or flax seeds. Some people will want more sugar. Some will try to do without it altogether, adding a salty note. I tried to more or less balance the amount of these products: nothing – neither salty nor sweet – was particularly prominent.

Ingredients:

- 370 gr. flour;
- 250 ml. (classic glass) tomato juice;
- 50 gr. sugar and vegetable oil;
- 10 gr. (a level teaspoon) baking powder (or quicklime soda);
- salt.

Recipe with photos step by step:

Stir salt into juice

and sugar.

Then, stirring with a spoon, add baking powder and flour to them,

I knead the dough with my hands until it stops sticking to my fingers.

The result is a pinkish bun, which I divide into many balls.

I’ll flatten each one a little with my hands.

The size of the cookies is not only important for beauty, but will also affect the baking time. The little one will need about 15 minutes of stay in hot oven(180 degrees). Average - a little more. If in doubt, check, for example, with a toothpick. Carefully pierce one of the cookies with it. There won't be a crumb left on her raw dough, remove everything from the oven.

Not all the cookies eaten at once? Transfer leftovers to regular enamel pan with a lid if there is no branded cookie tin.
