My preference is organic whole wheat pastry flour. Some people prefer white flour. It will give you a lighter cake, with less character. If you want to use white flour, you can use cake flour, if you check and make sure there are not any weird ingredients in it.
Do not use whole wheat gluten flour or baking flour. You want pastry flour, which comes from white wheat berries. Baking flour comes from red wheat berries, which have a higher gluten content, good for making bread, but is too grainy and gritty for cakes.
Some people do a mixture of whole wheat pastry flour and white flour. If you can use organic, that is better, because the chemicals that are used on wheat are pretty bad - it's cheaper than cleaning up the storage facilities, and if they don't put the deadly chemicals in the wheat silos, there are too many insects. So it's better to buy organic, because they have to keep the bugs out by having better storage facilities, rather than by poisoning the food.
You might be able to use self rising flour for peanut butter cookies. It will act differently than regular flour, so omit ingredients that cause the cookies with regular flour to rise (baking soda) and be prepared for your experimental cookies to cook differently.
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.
That is 7.5 cups of flour.

You can use tapioca flour in some cookie recipes. It does not act like wheat flour, so only use tapioca flour if the recipe specifically says to.

You can cook cookies without flour. The recipe may call for a different type of flour, such as rice flour or tapioca flour.
You can use corn flour to replace wheat flour in cookies, but the result will be a finer textured and more brittle cookie. For recipes that require the elasticity of the gluten in wheat, a good result will require the addition of gluten, or an acceptable equivalent.

To make them rise and not be flat.
Yes, all-purpose flour is fine to use in chocolate chip cookies.
