"As a mom, I spend a lot of time on the go, but making meals at family time is important to me. Nutella is that special ingredient that always sparks joy around the breakfast table," said Hilary Duff. "The best are those Saturday mornings when we take the Nutella out to put on our pancakes for breakfast and we decide to, then, make our favorite Nutella cookies in the afternoon, since the jar is already out. I can't wait to share our cookie recipe from those special moments– and hopefully, the fans will love it just as much as my family and I do."
