Express.js CookieParser does not get Angular.js $cookies

Question

I'm trying to get to use the cookies set by Angular.js in my Node.js backend, but it returns undefined... Can anyone help me?

var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
app.use(cookieParser());

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
  console.log(req.cookies); // returns undefined
  });

app.listen(3000);

Dependencies: Node.js

• express.js
• cookieparser

Angular.js

• $cookies
• $route
