In a medium bowl, combine the Nutella and softened unsalted butter using a hand mixer or a whisk until smooth and creamy.
Sift the powdered sugar into the bowl to prevent lumps, then gradually mix it into the Nutella and butter mixture until fully incorporated.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and enhance the flavor.
Taste the filling and adjust sweetness or consistency if needed. For a thicker filling, add a small amount of additional powdered sugar. For a creamier texture, mix in a teaspoon of heavy cream.
Use immediately as a filling for cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow the filling to come to room temperature before using if refrigerated.
