Have you seen [1]? I found it very useful when getting starting with cowboy, though I had prior experience with Erlang.

It walks through a simple "Hello world" application starting with creation from template (erlang.mk), and discusses static files, SSL, websocket.. A very good first guide in my opinion. Though it doesn't really cover other techniques like how to architect your application or interact with a database.
