How to implement http-only cookie auth from aws hosted backend to locally hosted frontend?

Question

When your backend is deployed to aws and you have to develop http cookie authentication to a locally hosted reactjs frontend how do you implement it?

The issue is..

When I call the login API endpoint it's supposed to set a http-only cookie to my browser but it doesn't.

I've mentioned my axios intecepter below incase if it's the issue. If you can suggest me a solution that would be great.

ps : the backend doesn't have a issue, When i call the login endpoint with postman. relevant cookies are setting automatically

export const axiosHttp = axios.create({
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  withCredentials: true,
});

axiosHttp.interceptors.response.use(
  (response) => response,
  async (error) => {
    const prevRequest = error?.config;
    if (error.response.status === 401 && !prevRequest?.sent) {
      prevRequest.sent = true;
      const res = await refreshToken();
      console.log(res);
      return axiosHttp(prevRequest);
    }
    return Promise.reject(error);
  }
);
