Get javascript cookie expiry value in minutes

I am using js-cookie to set a cookie with a 1 hour expiry like so:

const cookieExpiry = new Date( new Date().getTime() + 60 * 60 * 1000 );

const newCookie = Cookies.set("apiKey", "apiKeyFakeValue123456", { expires: cookieExpiry });

How would I check age of cookie is equal to or greater than 60m?

My best attempt (not even grabbing expiry value from the time it was set!):

if (newCookie.getTime >= 60){ return someFunction();}

Many thanks in advance :)
