If you are trying to use local cookies (file://) you have to make the parent Phonegap project accept local cookies. To do so, You should have a file called youappname.java in your PhoneGap project, probably with this contents or similar:

import android.os.Bundle;
import org.apache.cordova.*;

public class App extends DroidGap {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
}
}

Modify it to look like this example:

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.CookieManager;
import org.apache.cordova.*;

public class App extends DroidGap {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    CookieManager.setAcceptFileSchemeCookies(true);
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
}
}
