I use this table to make my substutions for non GF recipes. It works out to holding back about 1/4 of the flour and waiting to see how it all comes out.
A skilled baker develops the knack of knowing just how much feels right. As a rule, they say that most cookie dough should pull away lightly from the bowl, and still be lightly tacky. Mine is never correct the first time, but if I follow the rule and add more fat if too dry and more flour if the cookies are too flat, I get by.
Whole grain flours do take more liquid and time to reconstitute. I allow many of my batters sit after mixing for a few minutes before making the final liquid adjustments.
