1. With zsh you don't need to call find
(note that "**" globs multiple "/", it's a recursive globbing)
all that you need is:

Code:
rm -- /usr/temp/**/cookies.html(mh+24)

or, in this case, even just:

Code:
rm /usr/temp/**/cookies.html(mh+24)

2. You can execute it first with ls -l,
just to be sure that it generates the files you need to remove:

Code:
ls -l /usr/temp/**/cookies.html(mh+24)

If there are many files and you get the "argument list too long" error,
use this:

Code:
 autoload zargs ; zargs /usr/temp/**/cookies.html(mh+24) -- rm
