Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function read() on boolean for cookies

This is how I have setup my AppController.php, but it is giving error

<?php
namespace App\Controller;

use Cake\Controller\Controller;
use Cake\Event\Event;
use Cake\Core\Configure;

class AppController extends Controller
{
    public function initialize()
    {
        parent::initialize();

        $this->loadComponent('RequestHandler');
        $this->loadComponent('Flash');
        $this->loadComponent('Auth', [
            'loginRedirect' => [
                'controller' => 'Dashboard',
                'action' => 'index'
            ],
            'logoutRedirect' => [
                'controller' => 'Pages',
                'action' => 'home'
            ],
            'authenticate' => [
                'Form' => [
                    'finder' => 'auth',
                ],
                'Xety/Cake3CookieAuth.Cookie' => [
                    'cookie' => [
                        'name' => 'CookieAuth'
                    ]
                ]
            ]
        ]);

        //$this->loadComponent('Security');
        //$this->loadComponent('Csrf');
    }

    public function beforeRender(Event $event)
    {
        $this->loadComponent('Auth');

        // login using cookies
        if (!$this->Auth->user('id') && $this->Cookie->read('CookieAuth')) {
            $user = $this->Auth->identify();
            if ($user) {
                $this->Auth->setUser($user);
            } else {
                $this->Cookie->delete('CookieAuth');
            }
        }

        // set logged in user data to render in view files
        if ($this->Auth->user('id')) {
            $this->set('AUTH_USER', $this->Auth->user());
        }

        if (!array_key_exists('_serialize', $this->viewVars) &&
            in_array($this->response->type(), ['application/json', 'application/xml'])
        ) {
            $this->set('_serialize', true);
        }
    }
}

Error getting is

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function read() on boolean in /var/www/html/emeet.com/emeet_cake/src/Controller/AppController.php:46

on removing $this->Cookie->read('CookieAuth'), error jumped to next Cookie->delete line

Better late than never, but it might be useful for someone else. You forgot to add public $components = ['Cookie']; in your code.
