Having Trouble Naming and Adding Value to This Cookie in PHP

Now that the redirect is accepting a single cookie and adding it to the response header, we need to create the cookie. a. In the cookie.php file, add a new cookie with a new cookie named teacher with a value of Alena. b. Redirect to the /courses page while passing the cookie.

I feel like I'm close - maybe I'm missing something simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cookies.php 
<?php
require __DIR__ .'/vendor/autoload.php';

// create cookie
$cookie = Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Cookie ('teacher', 'Alena' );
redirect.php 
<?php

function redirect($path, \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Cookie $cookie = null)
{
    $response = \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response::create(
        null, 
        \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response::HTTP_FOUND, 
        ['Location' => $path]
    );
      if (key_exists('teacher', 'Alena')) {
     {
         $response->headers->setCookie($cookie);
     }
 }
    $response->send();
  //redirect('/courses')
}
