For the most part yes. Depending on the cookie, it might make a difference in the level of crispness.
they should do yes, pretty much every flour type is the same. :)
It most likely already is. All purpose can be bleached or unbleached, same flour, one is just whiter than the other.
Yes, unbleached flour can be used in just about anything that calls for flour.
Yes, the recipe will work the same. Unbleached flour is preferred by many people because they believe it is healthier since it hasn't been treated for bleaching, but it doesn't react differently when cooking.
Self-rising flour has baking powder and salt in it and most times it is bleached. Some recipes don't need as much salt or baking powder in them, like brownies or cookies. AP flour is available (chemically) bleached & unbleached. Some people do not like the added chemicals or the aluminum which is generally in the baking powder used in self rising flour. Self rising flour is very good for biscuits. Answer by cre8ov
Yes. All-purpose flour and unbleached flour are usually the same thing. Just be sure that the package doesn't say something like 'self rising', 'bread flour', or 'cake flour' - those ARE NOT all-purpose flour.
Unbleached is exactly that - they don't whiten it. This is preferable for people concerned with chemicals in their food and for people who are concerned about the environment. As far as the cooking results - the food will be the same flavor, but for some things like bread, the color will be closer to brown.
yes
all purpose flour has bleach in it, therefore when you eat anything made with all purpose flour you are eating bleach.
Yes, you can use all purpose flour in place of almond flour. However, the resulting cookies would not be macaroons, but simple cookies without much flavor.
Actually unbleached flour is better for you than bleached flour. Bleached flour contains traces of bromides, the bleaching agent. It also does not have the nutrients that unbleached does.The bleaching agent, Chlorine dioxide, used to bleach flour is reported to produce diabetes-causing contaminant alloxan[1] when reacting with the proteins contained in flour.Studies show that alloxan, the chemical that makes white flour look "clean" and "beautiful," destroys the beta cells of the pancreas. You may be devastating your pancreas and putting yourself at risk for diabetes, all for the sake of eating "beautiful" bleached flour. If you eat flour, your best choice is unbleached. # ^ Lenzen, S: The mechanisms of alloxan- and streptozotocin-induced diabetes.

The "purpose" of any food is to be eaten.
what is the purpose of brown sugar in cookies?
