There are actually two ways you can do this...

The best way is probably to use the time tag:

[tmp expires][time gmt=1 adjust="+10"]%a, %d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S GMT[/time][/tmp]

The only downside is that you have to remember the date format.

The easy, but undocumented way is that set-cookie will take an epoch time
as an expiration date...

[tmp expires][time gmt=1 adjust="+10"]%s[/time][/tmp]

Either of these will give you a value that set-cookie will accept as an
expiration:

[set-cookie value="test" name="test" expire="[scratch expires]"]
