Cookie::queue('currentLang', 'heb', 999999999);

Laravel has a cookie helper!

/**
 * Create a new cookie instance.
 *
 * @param  string  $name
 * @param  string  $value
 * @param  int     $minutes
 * @param  string  $path
 * @param  string  $domain
 * @param  bool    $secure
 * @param  bool    $httpOnly
 * @return \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Cookie
 */
function cookie($name = null, $value = null, $minutes = 0, $path = null, $domain = null, $secure = false, $httpOnly = true)
{
    $cookie = app(CookieFactory::class);

    if (is_null($name)) {
        return $cookie;
    }

    return $cookie->make($name, $value, $minutes, $path, $domain, $secure, $httpOnly);
}

then use:

Cookie::get('$name')
