If using bleached flour, the cookie will have a better taste because the flour is not adding or subtracting from the flavor of the other ingredients it is sort of like a blank canvas.

Using whole wheat flour is less ideal for cookies because it dries out the cookie a little more and gives it a different flavor. However this is healthier than using bleached flour because it has it's own natural fibers.

Flour does not affect the rising of cookies. The leavening agent, which might be baking powder, baking soda, eggs or in some cases, baking ammonia, causes rising.
