Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 °F (165 °C) if toasting coconut in the oven. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spread coconut evenly on the pan, toasting for 3 minutes.
Gently stir the coconut and bake until golden brown for another 3-4 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
For stove toasting, heat a dry skillet over medium-low, add coconut and stir often until golden and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine maple syrup, sugar, milk, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Stir until bubbles form at the bottom.
Remove from heat and blend in peanut butter. Adjust with more milk if needed to achieve a thin consistency.
Add cooled coconut and chopped peanuts into the mixture and stir well.
Using a cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared parchment paper.
Refrigerate for about 1.5 hours until firm. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Ensure coconut is fully cooled before mixing to prevent separation of oils from peanut butter.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies and easy handling.
Store in the refrigerator or freezer for longer shelf life.
