In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Tip: Use an electric mixer for best results.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda (if using).
Tip: Don't forget to sift the flour for an even texture.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and smooth the top.
Tip: Use a spatula to create a decorative edge.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centre is set.
Tip: Don't open the oven door during this time, as this can cause the traybake to sink.
