When baked, cookies with a high sugar content tend to spread out a lot over a baking sheet, resulting in a very thin cookie (almost a tuile). (This is why it is necessary to measure ingredients correctly and stick to a reputable recipe to avoid unintended consequences).
If you have made a batch of cookie dough but accidentally added more sugar than the recipe states, you have a few options: Scale up the recipe and add the missing proportions of ingredients, so that everything re-balances. (This is only feasible if you have enough supply of ingredients do make a double/triple batch).
If you've added more sugar than would even be in a triple-batch of cookies, just begin again. (Scaling up would give vast quantities).
Try rolling the dough into a sausage shape (using foil or cling-film) and refrigerate it. When it's completely cold, slice and freeze the slices. Then cook from frozen. (Cooking from frozen helps prevent the dough from spreading during baking).
Alternatively, use the dough for tuiles.
It may also be worth adding some extra salt to minimize the sweetness.

What happens if more baking soda is added to the cookied dough?
Adding more baking soda than the recipe calls for can result in cookies that spread too much and become thin and dense. The excess baking soda can create too much leavening, causing the cookies to rise rapidly and then collapse, resulting in a less desirable texture.
Will baking soda help cookies rise?
Baking soda helps cookies rise by producing carbon dioxide when it reacts with an acid ingredient, such as brown sugar, buttermilk, or yogurt. This reaction creates air bubbles in the dough, which expands during baking, causing the cookies to rise and become lighter and more tender.
Why are my snickerdoodles flat?
Your snickerdoodles may be flat because the dough was too warm or the baking soda was old and ineffective.
Can you replace baking powder with baking soda in sugar cookies?
Only substitute baking soda for baking powder if the cookie dough will be baked within 30 minutes of mixing. Baking soda begins to lose potency as soon as it gets wet so baking powder is used when the dough will be allowed to sit for a long time before baking.
Why did your oatmeal cookies seem to rise too much?
To much baking soda
Why do you chill cookie dough before baking it?
Chilling cookie dough before baking helps solidify the fats in the dough, which prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking. This results in cookies that are thicker and chewier, with a better texture and flavor.
Does baking soda and water sting on moles?
Yes,but not too much...
Is 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 8 ounces of water too much baking soda for acid reflux relief?
That amount of baking soda would be enough for 16oz of water, so cut it in half.
Is baking soda bad for children?
No, it's not, unless you eat too much of it.
Why did my cookies not spread during baking?
Your cookies may not have spread during baking because the dough was too cold or had too much flour, preventing it from spreading properly.
Why is it important to chill cookie dough before baking?
Chilling cookie dough before baking is important because it helps solidify the fat in the dough, which prevents the cookies from spreading too much while baking. This results in cookies that are thicker, chewier, and have a better texture overall.
Does it matter how much baking soda you put in a cake?
yes, it certainly does. Baking soda reacts with acidic ingredients in the batter, producing bubbles of gas that make the cake rise. Too much or too little baking soda puts the acid / alkaline mix off balance, and the cake will fall flat.
