Combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.

Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks and vanilla extract.

Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and mix until just combined.

If the dough is too dry, add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until it holds together.

Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.

Transfer the rolled dough to a tart pan, pressing it into the corners.

Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Chill the tart shell in the refrigerator for another 15 minutes.

Bake the tart shell for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool before filling.
