You can easily manipulate Cookies using Groovy scripting. In SoapUI, Cookies are kept in the Cookie store:

import com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.support.http.HttpClientSupport
def myCookieStore = HttpClientSupport.getHttpClient().getCookieStore()

You can read all the Cookies in there:

def myCookies = myCookieStore.getCookies()
def interestingCookie
myCookies.each {
    if(it.name == "JSESSIONID")
        interestingCookie = it
}

To create a new Cookie in another request:

import org.apache.http.impl.Cookie.BasicClientCookie
def myNewCookie = new BasicClientCookie("cookie_name", "cookie_value")
myNewCookie.version = 1
myNewCookie.domain = "qa.test"
myCookieStore.addCookie(myNewCookie)

I have some additional information in an older blog post here.
