If you set the Expires property of a cookie, then it stops being a Session Cookie, and gets stored at the remote system. At this point, the browser close will no longer affect the cookie validity.

If you always want "twenty minutes or browser close" which ever comes first, then don't set the Expires time, but store it in the cookie and check it manually. That way, it remains as a Session cookie and the browser closing and reopening will start a new session with no valid cookie loaded.
