Preheat the oven to 350F.
In a skillet on medium heat, melt the coconut oil and add in the pecan pieces. Toast these in the oil for about 2-4 minutes or until you begin to smell them. Add in the coconut flakes and continue to toast for 1 minute.
Pour 1 tbsp of maple syrup on top of the pecans and coconut flakes. Stir continuously so that everything is coated. Cook down for about 1 minute and then remove from the heat. The mix should solidify into a granola-like consistency! Put this to the side in a small bowl.
To make the cookie dough, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder and salt.
Pour in the maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract and almond milk. Stir until a dough forms.
Add in the chocolate chips and mix well.
Split the dough into two even sized balls, and coat the balls in the pecan and coconut mixture.
Place both dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet. Press them down slightly, they won't spread out much in the oven, so don't forget this step!
Bake for 17-20 minutes at 350F. Serve warm!
