If you've already done it, then you can increase the rest of the ingredients to equal the extra salt you added. For example, if you added a tablespoon of salt instead of a teaspoon, then triple all of the remaining ingredients as well. It will make a larger batch of cookies, but at least it will save you from throwing the whole batch out. Depending on the type of cookie you're making, you could freeze the extras and bake at a later time without any additional work.
If you didn't add that much extra, then you could just add some extra sugar, or dried fruits, to offset the saltiness. The texture of the baked cookie, however, may turn out differently since the chemistry of the recipe has now changed. Since sugar melts when exposed to moisture or when heated, your cookies may turn out thinner and crispier than they otherwise would be.
Normally, when cookie recipes call for any fat other than butter, regardless of what the recipe says, I simply and quite literally add just a 'pinch' of salt per recipe. (If I make a double batch, then I'll add two pinches, and so on.) When recipes call for butter or unsalted butter, I always use 'salted butter' and add no additional salt whatsoever. The cookies always look and taste great, and I never have to worry about them being salty.
