"Invalid cookie value" when calling REST API leads

I'm trying to get the lead information for the current user in a website, using this REST API: Get Multiple Leads By Filter Type

I have the right authentication token ( I am able to call other entries, i.e. /lead/{id}.json ) but whenever I call the "leads" resource with filterType=cookie&filterValues=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx I get a JSON error response with this value in the message property: 
Invalid cookie value 'id:561-HYG-937&token:_mch-marketo.com-1415884534947-30230'
I have encoded the '&' inside the cookie value as %26, and it is reaching the API correctly.  The value stated in the error message matches exactly the value of my _mkto_trk cookie on the 'marketo.com' domain.

Any clue on what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Jose

I'm happy to help debug. Can you post the request url and JSON body that your code generates?

Thanks Murtza for your prompt response. I'm following just the same steps and cannot get it to work, but I may be doing something wrong.  Will re-trace each step again.

Thanks

I am not sure where the error is if you are changing the & to %26.  I justed tested the API, and here is a working code sample in Ruby:

Code Sample
===

require 'rest_client'
require 'json'

#Build request URL
#Replace AAA-BBB-CCC with your Marketo instance
marketo_instance = "https://AAA-BBB-CCC.mktorest.com"
endpoint = "/rest/v1/leads.json"
#Replace with your access token
auth_token =  "?access_token=" + "cdf27eff-aca0-48cf-a1ac-576ffec65a84:ab"
#Replace with filter type and values
filter_type_and_values = "&filterType=cookie&filterValues=id:AAA-BBB-CCC%26token:_mch-marketo.com-1418418733122-51548&fields=cookies,email"
request_url = marketo_instance + endpoint + auth_token + filter_type_and_values

#Make request
response = RestClient.get request_url

#Returns Marketo API response
puts response
