Method:

IF MAKING AHEAD FOR THE FRIDGE OR FREEZER

1. Put the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and whisk with an electric whisk until light and fluffy.

2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then whisk again. Sift in the flour and baking powder, then mix with a large spoon. Fold through the white chocolate, raspberries and crushed pretzels.

3. Place the cookie dough in a labelled freezer bag and seal. Freeze flat.

OVEN: Remove the bag from the freezer and leave to fully defrost. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Squish the cookie dough into a 22 centimetre ovenproof pie tin or skillet and cook for 25-30 minutes. It should be golden on the outside and soft in the middle.

AIR FRYER: Remove the bag from the freezer and leave to fully defrost. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. Squish the cookie dough into a 22 centimetre air fryer-safe pie tin or skillet. Place the tin or skillet in the air fryer and cook for 13-15 minutes, covering with foil if browning too quickly. It should be golden on the outside and soft in the middle.
