Place 1/2 cup oats in a food processor. (You want to make them into a powder).

Place them into a medium bowl and whisk together with the oats, 2 1/4 cups AP flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Set aside

In a separate bowl stir together 1 cup melted butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, & 3/4 cup sugar. Stir until smooth. Then stir in 1 Tbsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp lemon juice, & 2 eggs. Stir until smooth.

Stir wet mixture into the dry. Mixture will be lumpy.

Stir in 3 cups chocolate chips & 1 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.

Line cookie sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. *I like silicon mats. Scoop 1/4 cupfuls of dough into balls and place on sheet. (Don’t need to space out because this is just to chill). Cover with plastic wrap. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Preheat 350°

Place cookies well spaced on sheet. Slightly depress each ball with palm of have.

Bake 13-17 minutes

DO NOT OVER BAKE. these are best a little bit under done.
