Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon maple extract
- 1 teaspoon chocolate extract
- 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup caramel-filled chocolate candies (recommended: Hershey’s Caramel-Filled Kisses)
- 3/4 cup uncooked oats
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt butter, sugar, and brown sugar together in a microwave for 15 to 30 seconds on medium to low power, careful not to burn the butter. Let the butter-sugar mixture cool just a bit and blend in the egg and egg yolk. Add the maple, chocolate and orange extract, and the heavy cream. Stir and set aside. Sift dry ingredients together and fold into wet mixture carefully. Add chocolate chips, candies, oats and pecans. Chill dough in a freezer for a few minutes to make sure it is cold. Using an ice cream scoop, drop dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Reviews
Made this recipe for years, ever since I saw her make it on the show. Good chew, perfect for when u need a cookie fix. I usually omit the choco extract and have had a fun time trying different candies to use. But, when U do use the caramel kisses or (my usual) Rolos, it creates nice chewy/crispy caramel goo pockets. I think the orange extract is needed for a different flavor, compliments the others well, but I do lean on a lighter pour with it. Refrigeration necessary with this dough.
Great recipe! I could not find the chocolate extract, so I used coco powder instead. The office loved the cookies. They were soft and chewy. The flavors of the orange and maple create a different taste that leaves people wondering. I could not find the kisses so I used the Dove candies with the caramel center. I do reccomend freezing the candy before hand and putting them in a food processor just to break them up, for better distribution in the cookie. I am ditching my old chocolate chip recipe for this one.
I was really worried that there would be too much going on in these cookies. I’m still not sure if there is or not, but they are sure delicious. I couldn’t find the chocolate extract like most everyone here, so I used vanilla instead. I thought the orange flavor was lovely! This is definitely one of my top ten favorites.
I loved this cookie soooo much!!!! I did make a couple modifications, though. I formed the cookie dough around the caramel kisses, so it did not drip as much. Also, I could not find chocolate extract, so I used tahitian vanilla. Seriously, a great alternative to the plain ol’ chocolate chip, and was loved by all.
very iteresting and fun.
I am a huge choc. chip cookie fan and I was a bit dissapointed with this reciepe. I did make some substitutions that might be the cause. I omitted the orange extract and I used peanut butter filled hershys kisses rather than the caramel filled. I thought that the maple was over powering in this recipe (not a huge maple fan, but thought that I would try it anyway)… I think that I will try them again without the maple. They did get pretty good reviews though.
Yum
These were yummy. Made the following changes: Creamed butter and sugars together w/o melting butter. Used vanilla rather than maple extract and choc. liquer instead of extract. Used orange extract as called for. So your caramel kisses dont leak, FREEZE them. Formed with cookie scoop, pushed single kiss into center and rolled into slightly flattened balls. Solved all probelems discusses by previous reviewers.
These candy bar cookies are delicious!
An outstanding creation, Saptosa! Chocolate Extract is unavailable in
my area so I substituted using Chocolate Liqueur. Also, I flattened 1-1/2 TBS of dough into a circle and placed one caramel-chocolate candy in the center and rolled into a ball. This eliminated the gooey mess after baking. Next time, I will try less white sugar because I think 1 cup was too sweet.
