Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 °F (165 °C) for toasting the coconut.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place the shredded coconut evenly on it. Toast for 3 minutes, then stir and continue baking until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes more.
If toasting on the stove, heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat, add shredded coconut, and cook, stirring frequently until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to stop cooking.
Let the toasted coconut cool completely.
Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a saucepan, combine maple syrup, sugar, milk, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Heat while stirring until bubbles form on the bottom, then remove from heat and stir in peanut butter. Adjust the milk if necessary.
Mix in the toasted coconut and chopped peanuts until well combined.
Scoop the mixture onto the parchment paper using a 1 1/2 tbsp cookie scoop, working quickly to avoid separation of nut butter.
Chill the cookies for about 1 1/2 hours to firm up and store in an airtight container.

Notes

Be attentive while toasting coconut; there’s a fine line between toasted and burnt.
Ensure the coconut is fully cooled before mixing to prevent separation of oils.
Store chilled cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer-lasting freshness.
