After much experimentation and reading various posts, this worked. I could set multiple cookies, read them back and set the time negative and delete them.

func addCookie(w http.ResponseWriter, name string, value string) {
    expire := time.Now().AddDate(0, 0, 1)
    cookie := http.Cookie{
       Name:    name,
       Value:   value,
       Expires: expire,
       Domain:  ".localhost",
       Path:    "/",
    }
    http.SetCookie(w, &cookie)
}
