In another bowl, cream butter, sugars, vanilla and lemon juice with electric mixer. Add eggs and beat until fluffy.
Stir flour mixture into creamed mixture, blending well. Add chocolate chips and nuts and mix well. Using 1/4 cup of dough for each cookie (I use an ice cream scoop), shape into round ball and place 2-1/2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.

Bake until cookies are lightly browned, 16-18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely. Store in sealed container to keep soft and chewy.

Aloha! I just recently started spending more time in the kitchen and am learning that cooking and baking can be fun as well as challenging. My favorite cookbook resources are my 'gourmet' sister and the very patient and generous Ohana of Zaar. Mahalo nui loa! My rating system: The first time I try a recipe, I follow the instructions as given; if I do a little tweaking, I keep that in mind when rating. It's not right to rate lower because of something I did or didn't do. ***** ... Excellent! Tasted great with/without tweaking. ****  ... Loved It! Tasted great with/without tweaking. No stars ... May be an excellent recipe but I was unable to get it to work for me. May or may not try again later. We don't all have the same taste preferences. I've found recipes with lots of five stars that just didn't work for me and some with less that I thought were great. Thank you All for sharing!
