Preheat oven to 350° F. Coat an 8- or 9-inch round cake pan lightly with cooking spray and place a cut of parchment paper in a circle to help prevent sticking. Melt butter and sugar in a heavy saucepan on very low heat. Let the mixture cool slightly and transfer to a large bowl.

Add eggs gradually, mixing well. Add vanilla extract.

Sift dry ingredients together and add to egg mixture, stirring gently and minimally. Add chips.

Pour mixture into the pan and bake approximately 35 minutes. Do not overbake. Let cool. Cut into slices. Decorate and add a peppermint stick for the tree trunk.
