Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (85 grams) unsweetened shredded coconut short strands
- 2 tablespoons (40 grams) maple syrup
- 2/3 cup (133 grams) granulated sugar or coconut sugar
- 4–6 tablespoons (60–90 ml) milk of choice
- 1/3 cup (38 grams) dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup (170 grams) natural peanut butter or another nut/seed butter
- 1 cup (145 grams) finely chopped peanuts or other nuts/seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 °F (165 °C) if toasting coconut in the oven. Line a pan with parchment and spread coconut evenly; toast for 3 minutes, stirring until golden brown.
- For stovetop toasting, use a dry skillet over medium-low heat, cook the coconut for 3-5 minutes, stirring until golden and nutty-smelling.
- Let toasted coconut cool completely to prevent oil separation in 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; stir until bubbling.
- Remove from heat and mix in peanut butter, adding more milk if needed for consistency.
- Fold in the toasted coconut and chopped peanuts.
- Scoop cookies using a 1 1/2 tbsp scoop onto the parchment; work quickly to avoid oil separation in the mixture.
- Chill cookies for about 1 1/2 hours until firm, storing in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freezing for longer.
Notes
Make sure the coconut is completely cooled before mixing; warm coconut can cause separation in nut butter.
Use a light-colored pan to help monitor the browning of the coconut more easily.
For a twist, try adding different nuts or nut butters to customize your cookies.
