Delete http cookie in AbstractPortalComponent

Question

Hi
1) I created a cookie in my custom login module.
          HttpSetterCallback setCookie = new HttpSetterCallback();
          setCookie.setType(HttpSetterCallback.COOKIE);
          setCookie.setName("MYCOOKIE");
          setCookie.setValue(cookieValue);
          cbSetter[2] = setCookie;
          ch.handle(cbSetter);
2) Then I want to read the cookie value and immediately delete the cookie in my portal component.
     public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
                                Cookie[] cookies = request.getServletRequest().getCookies();
          Cookie cookie = null;
          String value= "";
          for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++)
               cookie = cookies<i>;
               if (cookie.getName().trim().equals("MYCOOKIE"))
                    value= cookie.getValue();
How do i delete the cookie after i get the value???
I have tried...but doesnt seem to work...
                    cookies<i>.setValue("");
                    cookies<i>.setMaxAge(0);
and also tried to overwrite it with a new value...but doesnt seem to work...
Cookie invalidateCookie = new Cookie("MYCOOKIE", "NONE");
response.addCookie(invalidateCookie);
request.getServletResponse(false).addCookie(invalidateCookie);
