For convenience, let's write your change of variable as:
$$x=\frac{u+v}{2},\qquad y=\frac{v-u}{2} \tag{1}$$
The most obvious thing to do when trying to find the region $D^*$ in the $uv$-plane corresponding to region $D$ is to sketch the region of integration:

By substitution of equations $(1)$, we notice that the image lines of $y=0$, $x=0$ and $y=1-x$ in the $uv$-plane is $v=u$, $v=-u$ and $v=1$ respectively, as shown below:
$$y=0 \implies \frac{v-u}{2}=0 \implies u=v$$
$$x=0 \implies \frac{u+v}{2}=0 \implies u=-v$$
$$y=1-x \implies \frac{v-u}{2}=1-\frac{u+v}{2}\implies v-u=2-u-v \implies v=1$$
Let's now sketch the new region $D^*$:

Notice that it is more convenient to describe $D^*$ as a type II plane region:
$$D^*=\{(u,v)\mid 0\leq v \leq 1, -v\leq u \leq v\}$$
Therefore, the integral becomes:
$$\iint_D \cos\left(\frac{x-y}{x+y}\right)~dA=\iint_{D^*} \cos(u/v)\cdot \left|\frac{\partial(x,y)}{\partial(u,v)}\right|~du~dv=\int_0^1 \int_{-v}^v \frac{\cos(u/v)}{2}~du~dv=\frac{\sin(1)}{2}$$
The last line is easily verifiable, and is left as an exercise for the reader.
