Heat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
Add the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts until evenly distributed.
Scoop the dough using a medium cookie scoop or a large tablespoon and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Measure Flour Carefully: Fluff the flour first, then spoon it into the dry measuring cup and level it off. Too much flour can make the cookies thick and dry instead of soft and chewy.
Line the Baking Sheet: Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for even baking and easy release. Avoid greasing the pan, which can cause the cookies to spread too much.
Do Not Overbake: Bake just until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool, keeping the classic DoubleTree cookie texture.
