Cookies are "set" by the server, usually only once per value, and then "sent" back from the client on every request. Cookies are an extension of HTTP, it's not served, whether by the client or the server, on any HTTP communication. It's only sent back by the client when it needs to tell the server it is maintaining a certain state. In the case of CSS, there's no state to maintain, so Cookies are certainly supposedly useless. For details, I refer you to RFC 2965. I'm not sure what exactly what Steve Souders means when he wrote "serve CSS with Cookies". It sounds like 56% of the population piggyback CSS in the Cookie values...
