Instructions

If toasting coconut in the oven, preheat to 325 °F (165 °C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread coconut on the pan and bake for 3 minutes, stirring gently, until golden brown (about 3-4 more minutes).
If toasting on the stove, use a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Spread coconut evenly and stir often until it becomes golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Allow toasted coconut to cool completely to prevent oil separation in the cookies.
Prepare a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine maple syrup, sugar, milk, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt, stirring until bubbles form.
Remove from heat and mix in peanut butter, adding more milk if thick to achieve a smooth consistency.
Blend in the toasted coconut and chopped peanuts.
Scoop the mixture onto the prepared parchment using a 1 1/2 tbsp cookie scoop, working quickly to prevent separation of nut butter oil.
Chill cookies for about 1 1/2 hours until firm. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Toasting the coconut ensures maximum flavor and texture.
Ensure the coconut is fully cooled before mixing with other ingredients to prevent oil separation.
These cookies can be customized with different nuts or seed butters for variety.
