Is it possible using a program running on the OS to add a cookie to the chromium browsers?

By using extensions and native messaging, you can add a cookie, yes.

Without using extensions - while it is technically possible by tampering with the cookie database files - it is not recommended as the schema can change at any release.

Thanks for the prompt response Patrick. 

Do you know where this database file is located? Is it a plain text file?

Are there API calls that I could make to set the cookie 

Sincerely,

Only extension API calls.

It is not a plain text file.

Search for it in your user profile directory. Go to about:version, there is section with the path to that directory.

Again - this is strongly discouraged, can break at any time and can corrupt the cookies (and so will be probably clear them) of that profile.
