The cook who invented these special cookies was obviously following William Blake's dictum, "the road to excess leads to the palace of wisdom"--they're large and chock-full of chocolate and nuts. Bake them one way if you like your cookies soft and chewy, another way if you prefer them crisp.
Like the other reviewer, this has been the recipe my family has used for as long as I can remember, from the cookie recipe book. I'm actually surprised this one doesn't have more reviews! Best cookie ever. Definitely use the cinnamon, it doesn't make it cinnamony but enhances the flavor. The lemon juice doesn't make it lemony either (I hate lemon in baked goods, but never leave the lemon out of this) The oats add a nice texture to it without turning it into an "oatmeal cookie"
