Sift together the flour, salt, soda and baking powder. In a bowl beat the eggs and vanilla together. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugars until light and creamy (either by hand or mixer). While beating the butter, slowly add in the egg mixture. Gently fold dry ingredients, including oats into creamed mixture. Roll into balls, then roll balls in extra white sugar to coat.
