This is a great piece of slang because it certainly transcends and transpires its wending way over a variety of decades. Cookin in this context is probably a short form of a longer phrase, cookin with gas. That phrase shows up earlier than the 50s and is still spoken--at least by people I know--today. What it means in all its forms is kind of what it sounds like: things are going along super well, hot hot hot, getting to the boiling point. Everything is coming your way.
