Salt consumed in non-processed 'whole' foods is generally not an issue for those limiting salt intake. As creamtea says, it's such a small amount, it's worth using the real deal. :-)
If you are on a salt-restricted diet, just leave it out. I agree with @creamtea about the substitute adding an unwanted off flavor to your cookies. Salt is often added to cookies (and a lot of sweets) to round out the sweetness. It enhances sweetness without the need to add more sugar.
