The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Federico's Bakery is recalling Mexican Cookies because it contains undeclared milk as the sub ingredient for butter."

The recall covers 9,520 units of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Oct 5, 2016), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved.
