Write / Read cookies from generic handler (.ashx) in C#

I would like to know if there is a way to write and read cookies from a generic handler.

For now, when I check the cookies in the browser developer tools, they are null.

Here is my code:

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
    CreateCookie(Username,SessionID);
}

public void CreateCookie(string userName, string sessionID)
{
    HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies["SESSION"]["SESSIONID"] = Encryption.EncryptString(sessionID);
    HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies["USER"]["USERNAME"] = Encryption.EncryptString(userName);

}

I cannot replace my cookies by SessionState element as the code can be executed on a server farm, messing up with the session.

Any idea?

Thanks!

Does the handler implement IReadOnlySessionState and IRequiresSessionState interfaces to access and manipulate session variables.
