Just commenting because solution above didn't work for me. I got UnsupportedOperationException. I believe issue was caused because singletonMap doesn't allow changes. xml headers were also needed, so I set those first.

if (headers == null) {
    headers = new HashMap>();
    port.getRequestContext().put("javax.xml.ws.http.request.headers", headers);
}

headers.put("Cookie", Collections.singletonList(cookieValue));
((BindingProvider)port).getRequestContext().put(MessageContext.HTTP_REQUEST_HEADERS, headers);
