Inserting cookie in stubbed response from wiremock - cookies

Question

I have a simple wiremock stub for an endpoint. The library that invokes this stub expects a cookie to be present in the response. Is there an easy way to supply a cookie in the wiremock configured response
Sample code for stubbing an endpoint:
stubFor(post(urlPathEqualTo("/endpoint"))
.willReturn(aResponse()
.withStatus(OK.getStatusCode())
//with a cookie;
Is this doable? I am using the following wiremock version
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.tomakehurst</groupId>
<artifactId>wiremock</artifactId>
<version>2.19.0</version>
</dependency>

A cookie is nothing more than an HTTP header with the attribute name: "Set-Cookie". The below example is for the JSON variant, but should translate easily to the Java style: .withHeader("Set-Cookie", "JSESSIONID=dcba")));
{
"metadata": {
"title": "Cookie example",
"description": "Example to return a Cookie",
},
"request": {
"method": "ANY",
"urlPath": "/returnCookie"
},
"response": {
"status": 200,
"headers": {
"Set-Cookie": ["JSESSIONID=ABSCDEDASDSSDSSE.oai007; path=/; Secure; HttpOnly"]
},
"body": "This stores a cookie";
}
}
