Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix the all-purpose flour and salt into the butter mixture until the dough comes together. It should be soft but not sticky.
Press the dough evenly into the tart pan, ensuring it covers the bottom and slightly up the sides. Prick the base a few times with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it is lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
While the crust cools, prepare the blueberry filling. In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries release their juices and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Pour the blueberry filling into the tart crust, spreading it evenly. Optional: If you have leftover crust dough, you can roll it out and cut it into shapes or strips to create a decorative topping.
Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the filling is bubbly.
Let the tart cool completely in the pan before removing and slicing. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, just before serving.
Serve the tart chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade Blueberry Cookie Tart!
