If the recipe calls for leavening (baking soda/powder) leave that out. The risk is that with self-rising flour the cookie might puff or spread a bit.

Otherwise, it would be oK.

I would not use self rising. They may rise more than you want. I use pillsbury all purpose flour.

I have this recipe -
To make self rising flour out of all-purpose flour, put 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a measuring cup, then add enough all-purpose flour to bring it to exactly one cup.
Just thought you might want to know exactly what is in it...
