How To Fix Too Sticky Batter

So, I made some snickerdoodle batter but had to use whole wheat flour and blue bonnet instead of all purpose flour and butter. The result? My batter is way too sticky. This recipe calls for me to roll the dough into balls and then press them flat with a glass, and I can't manage it because the dough sticks to my hands. Coating them with flour doesn't help. I've done this recipe plenty of times before and I can definitely tell you it's way too sticky.

I figured that adding more flour might solve the problem, but then would I need to add more sugar? What should I do?
