As Matt Broekhuis answered in a comment on this answer above, you can use DefaultHttpClient.getCookieStore()

Note, that at the time that I answered my server was limited to httpclient-4.2.5. DefaultHttpClient is now deprecated as of 4.3. I'm going to leave this answer here because others might find themselves in the same situation and the original poster specified they were using 4.1.2.

import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpUriRequest;
import org.apache.http.cookie.Cookie;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;

public class So8733758 {

  public static void main(String... args) throws IOException {
    final HttpUriRequest request = new HttpGet("http://stackoverflow.com");
    final DefaultHttpClient http = new DefaultHttpClient();
    http.execute(request);
    final List cookies = http.getCookieStore().getCookies();
    System.out.println(cookies);
  }
}

which outputs
