Yes because sometimes it makes them flat or doesn't taste wright
Peanut Butter Cookie recipes using white flour can be used substituting the whole wheat flour for the white flour. They may have a different texture or consistency.
i need flour for the cookie dough
Flour turns into gluten, which creates a matrix, or structure, for holding the pockets of air created by the leavening agents (baking soda, etc). It does not cause the dough to rise, but holds the air generated by the other chemical reactions in place.
put it in the microwave If you mean how do you make a soft cookie, as opposed to a crispy cookie, the answer is to add more flour when you make the cookie dough. If you have more flour in the dough, it will be soft and chewy. If you have less flour and more butter/oil/fat of any kind, the cookie will be crispy and "snap" or break easily.
Yes. Pretty much. The difference in the two flours is the ability to form gluten. Bread flour is ground from a different variety of wheat, and produces more gluten when kneaded and so is of greater value when making bread. As you do not knead cookie dough, it doesn't come into play, and for the the most part cookie recipes are not that critical. Do not use bread flour for making cakes when cake flour is called for. Cakes are different animals altogether and proper ingredients are critical, and you cannot substitute a hard wheat flour for the soft cake flour, (which produces almost no gluten.)
gives a cookie its structure
it fluffs it and makes it chewy
Cookies without flour are not unhealthy. If cookie dough is made without flour, the finished cookie will be very flat and have spread out on the cookie sheet. It won't taste very good, but it is healthy.
No. That will just make the cookie fall apart. Sugar is more for flavor than anything. It has very little affect on the finished product other than taste.
Yes, coconut macaroons can be made without almond flour. Theoretically, any type of nut flour could be used in place of almond flour in macaroons, although each type of flour would produce a different tasting cookie.
It's sometimes referred to as cookie flour.
