Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Portion the dough into 3-tablespoon-sized balls (or about 55 grams each), and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set but slightly soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
