Cookie setting in the middleware not working

Hi All,

I have a simple middleware where i want to set the country inside the cookie. The cookie is setting and i can view. But its not working for the first time. when the page loads. When i refresh the page at the second time. then it works. But first time not works. What is the issue. Any Help will be appreciated.. My code is

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;
use Modules\Location\Entities\Country;

class CheckCountry
{
    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure  $next
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        if($request->hasCookie('country'))
        {
            return $next($request);
        }

            // dd('ddd');
            $country = Country::where('service_supported', 1)->where('status', 1)->get();
            if($country->count()==1){
                $response = $next($request);
                return $response->withCookie(cookie()->forever('country', $country));
            }



    }
}

And My middleware group is

  /**
     * The application's route middleware groups.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $middlewareGroups = [
        'web' => [

            \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
            \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
            \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
            // \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class,
            \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
            \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
            \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
           // \App\Http\Middleware\SetLocale::class,
            \App\Http\Middleware\CheckCountry::class,
        ],

        'api' => [
            'throttle:60,1',
            'bindings',
        ],
    ];
