Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 °F (165 °C) if toasting coconut in the oven. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spread the coconut evenly. Bake for 3 minutes, stir, and continue baking until golden brown, watching closely to avoid burning (up to 4 minutes more).
For stovetop toasting, use a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Place shredded coconut in the skillet and stir frequently until golden brown (about 3–5 minutes). Transfer to a plate to cool completely.
Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine maple syrup, sugar, milk, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt, stirring until bubbles form at the bottom.
Remove from heat and add peanut butter, mixing until smooth. If mixture is too thick, add up to 2 tablespoons of milk.
Stir in toasted coconut and chopped peanuts until well combined.
Use a cookie scoop to drop mixture onto prepared parchment paper. Work quickly to prevent greasiness from separating.
Chill for 1.5 hours until firm. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Be sure to let the coconut cool completely before mixing to prevent the cookies from becoming greasy.
If you prefer a nuttier flavor, feel free to substitute the peanut butter with any nut or seed butter of your choice.
These cookies can also be customized by adding dried fruits or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
