Sift together flour, salt and baking soda. Mix in ground walnuts and set aside.
In large mixing bowl, cream margarine with both sugars until light and fluffy. Add the 2 eggs, vanilla, orange juice and zest and beat until smooth. Add sifted ingredients and completely blend (can use electric mixer). Add chips and nuts and blend together.
Refrigerate dough about 30 minutes; then preheat oven to 350°. Form dough into walnut-size ball and drop on parchment-lined sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown. Cookies will be cake-like and soft. Keep dough refrigerated while the other cookies are baking. Let cool on pans a few minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
