Both are correct but with slightly different meaning.
Sometimes I cook for myself implies that usually you eat meals prepared for you by other people.
Sometimes I cook myself implies that you usually do not prepare meals.
The former is certainly correct.
The latter is incorrect - it is ambiguous and redundant.
