Manually add a cookie in browser session in iE

I want to add a cookie to the browser's session for testing that particular page. I am able to do that in Chrome and Firefox, as there is an option to add a cookie manually in the Developer tools -> Application -> Cookies. But in IE there is no particular way to add a cookie. Is there any way I can do that in IE?. This is what I have tried so far. From suggestions from a few people, I tried to do the following.

1) Use javascript:document.cookie="NAME=VALUE" in the page I want to add a cookie. When I refresh the page, I don't find the cookie anymore.

javascript:document.cookie="NAME=VALUE"

2) Also tried after the page loaded to do document.cookie="NAME=VALUE" in the console.

document.cookie="NAME=VALUE"

Both of the solutions doesn't seem to work. Any help is appreciated.

Just add it artificially with javascript declaration document.cookie = "";

document.cookie = "";

Note: This snippet won't work on StackOverflow, because of jsfiddle sandbox mode.

document.cookie = "username=Test Subject";
document.getElementById('showcookies').addEventListener('click', function(){
alert("Cookies JSON:" + document.cookie);
});

<button id="showcookies">Show coowkies!</button>

Alternatively add it in your HTML using the <script></script> tags.

<script></script>

Additionally, check if your version of IE browser has cookies enabled in it's properties.
