Request cookies can be accessed via the request.cookie dictionary

from sanic.response import text

@app.route("/cookie")
async def test(request):
    test_cookie = request.cookies.get('test')
    return text("Test cookie set to: {}".format(test_cookie))

• expires - datetime - Time for cookie to expire on the client's browser
• path - string - The Path attribute specifies the subset of URLs to which this cookie applies
• comment - string - Cookie comment (metadata)
• domain - string - Specifies the domain for which the cookie is valid. An explicitly specified domain must always start with a dot.
• max-age - number - Number of seconds the cookie should live for
• secure - boolean - Specifies whether the cookie will only be sent via HTTPS
• httponly - boolean - Specifies whether the cookie cannot be read by javascript

    response = text("There's a cookie up in this response")
    response.cookies['test'] = 'It worked!'
    response.cookies['test']['domain'] = '.gotta-go-fast.com'
