I have lots of bread flour and would rather use that up - its also below zero outside, I'd have to run to the store for all purpose flour if they can't be substituted. Is there something I can add to the bread flour to make it suitable if its not?

Not a good idea to use bread flour for making cookies.
Have you considered making cinnamon rolls to give away? Make a cinnamon roll into a circle,by bringing the ends together once you have filled the dough and rolled them prior to slicing. Then slice into slices but don't go all the way through. You will have made a wreath. Bake, then top with glazed icing and decorate with cut candied cherries to look like berries. You can make two small wreaths or one large one per recipe.
You might be surprised at how wonderful and smart your friends will think you are doing these, instead of the traditional cookies.
Just a thought! Happy Holidays.

the only adjustments wil be interior the quantity of water you need to use, interior the dealing with of the dough and in browning. Bread flour can soak up greater water or liquid than all objective flour can. the version won't be adequate to problem you, yet carry back a pair of tablespoons of the water, only in case. upload it if the dough seems too company. once you artwork the dough, be conscious that each physique objective flour builds a somewhat weaker gluten shape, so cope with the risen loaves very gently, lest they give way. you may as nicely be conscious the the loaves do no longer brown besides, yet you are able to counter this by ability of brushing the loaves with water till now you bake them. you additionally can upload a splash sugar to the dough to supply it greater sugar to apply interior the browning reactions.
