There is a difference.  Pastry flour is high starch low protein.  It falls somewhere between cake flour and all purpose flour.  From what I have read if you don't have pastry flour, you can substitute 1/2 cake flour & 1/2 all purpose.

I must say, I have never heard of pastry flour in a chocolate chip cookies????   I have always used all purpose flour when making my cookies.  I use pastry flour when I make... well pastry.

I thought it was just me June.  I had never seen a recipe for chocolate chip cookies with pastry flour.
