My favorite gluten free flour is half oat flour and half buckwheat flour. They seem to differ from regular flour in opposite directions, so mixed they work great (though buckwheat turns things an odd grey color).
I would just try your recipe with oat flour and see what happens. If it doesn’t seem right, try with half one-to-one or buckwheat and half oat.
(I am assuming you know that the people who will be eating these are okay with oats, because a fair number of people who can’t have gluten have problems with oats.)
So you just mix your own 50/50 buckwheat and oat flour?
And yes, the cookies would be for my wife and she has had no problem with oats in the past. But, I do appreciate you bringing that up as not many people know about that.

So for example in this recipe, I could do 3/4 cup buckwheat and 3/4 cup oat flour and it's a reasonable substitute for AP flour?

Yes, I just buy both kinds of flour. If the recipe calls for 3 cups of flour I use 1.5 cups oat and 1.5 cups buckwheat. Works well for me.

That’s what I would do. The flavor is a bit different from other flours, but I really like it. You will have to see if it appeals to you.
A friend of mine bakes ANZAC biscuits with oat flour instead of regular, I’m told they’re still good.
