- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease 2 large baking sheets.
- Pour 1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk into top of double-boiler pan. Add cinnamon stick. Place over boiling water.

- Beat butter and sugar in a medium mixing bowl on medium speed until creamy. Add yolks; mixing well. Add lemon zest and brandy.

Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough into at least 34, 2-inch circles. Reroll dough as necessary. Place circles on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until set; careful not to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
