How to access cookie asp.net core

var claims = new[]
{
  new Claim("UserID", user.ID.ToString()),
  new Claim(ClaimTypes.Role, "pioneer")
};

var principal = new ClaimsPrincipal(
                  new ClaimsIdentity(
                    claims, CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme));

await HttpContext.Authentication.SignInAsync("Cookies", principal);

This is the cookie that I'm creating and using to sign in as per instruction from this tutorial: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authentication/cookie

The cookie is being created, but I don't know how to access the cookie or the data inside of it to get the user.ID value.

Once you sign via HttpContext.Authentication.SignInAsync, you should be able to access the User property in your controllers (it is part of ControllerBase), or HttpContext.User.

This User is a ClaimsPrincipal object that is created from the cookie automatically.
