Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 °F (165 °C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spread the shredded coconut evenly on the pan. Bake for 3 minutes, then stir and bake until golden brown, for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Alternatively, toast the coconut in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring often, until golden brown and fragrant. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Allow the toasted coconut to cool completely, as this will prevent the peanut butter from separating in the cookies.
Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a saucepan over medium heat, mix maple syrup, sugar, milk, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Stir until bubbles form on the bottom of the pan.
Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter, adding more milk if necessary to achieve a smooth consistency.
Fold in the coconut and chopped peanuts until fully combined.
Use a cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared parchment paper, working quickly to prevent oil separation.
Chill the cookies for about 1 1/2 hours before storing them in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freezing for up to 3 months.

Notes

Ensure toasted coconut is completely cool before mixing to avoid separation of oils in the nut butter.
For added flavor, experiment with different nut butters or mix-in nuts you prefer.
Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
