Is it correct to say I have uncountable cousins ?
What I mean by that not so correct sentence is "I have a lot of cousins. "

You could also say 'I have numerous cousins' or 'I have too many cousins to count.'

I have AN uncountable NUMBER of cousins. This is the correct way. We understand that it is an exaggeration to mean "I have MANY cousins". "I have lots of cousins"/I have a lot of cousins" is more informal.

The correct way to say it is either:
I have a lot of cousins.
or
I have many cousins.
There is also a phrase that you might use "I cannot count the number of cousins that I have" or you might respond to a question "how many cousins do you have" with "it's too many to count !!". This is a light-hearted (amusing) way of responding.
