Nilla is a brand name owned by Nabisco, an American manufacturer of cookies and snacks. The brand's name is a shortening of the word "vanilla," reflecting the vanilla flavor found in Nilla's most popular product, the Nilla Wafer.

The Nilla brand was introduced by Nabisco in 1967. The original product, Nilla Wafers, was a type of vanilla wafer cookie. The cookies quickly became popular for their light, sweet flavor and crisp texture. Over the years, Nabisco has expanded the Nilla line to include other products, such as Nilla Pie Crusts.
