as in "from the cockles of my heart"

A cockle is just a fold or a wrinkle, so to "warm the cockles of my heart" means "warm the wrinkles/folds of my heart"

Also, yes, you can use "conk" without "out".

"I got conked on the head."
"That old tree has conk on it."
"That engine is conked."

A cockle can be one of any of various bivalve mollusks of the family Cardiidae and they have rounded or heart shaped shells with radiating ribs or just the shells themselves.
The word can also referrer to a wrinkle or a pucker or any of several weedy plants.

The verb "conk" can mean a blow, especially to the head or to cease to function.
"My wife threatened to give me a conk on the head if I was ever late again."
