In my app, after a user verifies their identity I set a jwt encoded string on their browser. At least that's the plan.

I tried doing

response.cookies.set({
  name: "ACCESS_TOKEN",
  value: signature,
  httpOnly: true,
  maxAge: 60000 * 60 * 24 * 7,
});

and then

redirect('/dashboard');

My issue is:
The cookie doesn't get set. I get no error messages, no nothing. I even got redirected but no cookies were set.

It's functionally the same as doing this

  return new Response('Hello, Next.js!', {
    status: 200,
    headers: { 'Set-Cookie': `token=${token.value}` },
  })

But you can use it from server actions and server components
