Gather all your ingredients on the countertop and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour or protein powder, cocoa powder, shredded coconut, and salt. Whisk until thoroughly mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup (or honey/agave), and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. A few lumps are fine.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops look slightly dry.
Let them cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
