Adding sugar can't make something sweeter than pure sugar, and pure sugar isn't

Not disgusting, but there are quite a few people who don't care for
sweets. Kodachi being sickened was a result of the display of affection,
not the cookies.

Too much sugar would ruin the texture of the cookies, not the flavor.  Akane's
cookies would be sweeter than Kodachi's, but they would be flat, glassy, and
brittle, more like a candy than a cookie.

Of course, Kodachi would know this and triple with the salt instead of the
sugar.  No one can stomach oversalted cookies.

That causes problems for the ending of the story, though. I'm not sure
that it would be believable to have Hinako like the oversalted cookies,
and even if it would, it would come off as a deus ex machina.

Any ideas on how to fix this? (Anybody?)
