Do you use the same amount of bread flour as all purpose flour in cookie recipes?
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.)
What is bread flour?

Is there a difference between baking flour and plain flour?
Plain flour is most likely all purpose flour. It will work just fine for bread, but bread flour is specifically blended for bread making. It has more gluten which is what forms the bubbles in bread and helps it rise better. Plain flour is milled, blended and produced slightly differently than that for bread flour. Bread flour is much more of a stronger flour, whilst plain white flour is not. Both flours (whilst bread flour being the best to use for bread), need raising agents, since the flours are heavy. The most commonly used agent is yeast, in small amounts depending on size of loaf. Better results are achieved with using bread flour. So if you want to make bread then best use bread flour for better results and much tastier well balanced bread.

What types of flour are the most glutenous?
Bread flour, sometimes called "Strong flour" has a higher gluten content than regular cake flour. Out of all bread flours, "Canadian" bread flour usually has the highest gluten content. I think that pasta flour (sometimes called "00 flour") may have a slightly higher gluten content than some bread flours, but using pasta flour doesn't result in a better quality of bread.
Can you substitute self rising flour for bread flour?
Add 1 1/4 tsp. baking powder for each cup of flour. Bread flour may not be preferred if making biscuits, cakes, or pastries. Use cake flour or all-purpose flour for those.
