Cookies need salt for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, taste. Salt brings out and enhances the flavor of baked goods, and actually improves them. Ever wondered why people love salted caramel and salted chocolate? It makes them taste even better. As far as the chemical baking process goes, salt also helps in the process of gluten formation, the process whereby cookies have a stable structure and don't crumble apart.

In cookies, salt is a flavor enhancer. Without it, the cookies will be bland.
