Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
Process rolled oats in a food processer or blender until finly ground.
-
Combine ground oats, flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
-
In a second bowl, cream butter, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice together with electric mixer.
-
Add eggs and beat until fluffy.
-
Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture, blending well.
-
Add the chocolate chips and nuts to the dough and mix well.
-
Using about 1/4 cup dough for each cookie, scoop round balls and place 2 1/2-inches apart on to parchment-lined baking sheet--a ice cream scoop works well.
-
Bake until cookies are lightly browned, 16-18 minutes. (Time will depend on how large you make the cookies--I actually prefer them about 1/8 cup dough per cookie and they cook in about 10 minutes).
-
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Store in a zip-top container to keep them soft and chewy.
