Cocu, a former Dutch international, replaced Fred Rutten at PSV last month.
Zakaria Labyad played in Ola Toivonen for the opening goal in the 30th minute, Dries Mertens steered home a cross from Erik Pieters and Jeremain Lens sealed victory in the 62nd after capitalising on a defensive error.
Sunday's success could be the start of a Dutch league and cup double. PSV are fourth in the league standings, four points behind leader Ajax with six rounds to play.
