In order to detect touches, you need to subclass from UIResponder (which UIView does as well) . I am not familiar with cocos2D, but a quick look at the documentation reveals that CocosNode does not derive from UIResponder.

Upon further investigation, it looks like Cocos folks created a Layer class that derives from CocosNode. And that class implements the touch event handlers. But those are prefixed by cc.
