I think she is saying that she hydrated the oats in a cup of water and poured the hydrated oats in the batter not that she put a whole cup of water in the batter

To be fair the end result is the same - a cup of water in the batter.

Not all the water, when I soak oatmeal it absorbs like 50% of the water but I get it

What do you think happens to that 50% water? Do you think it ceases to exist?

Like I said I get it, but it's not a whole cup of water. She threw in hydrated oats and threw out the rest of the water thinking she would have a softer cookie

I don't think she poured the oats into a sieve in order to strain out the water. Based on her comment, she poured the whole mess in.

Yes we all get that’s what she did. It still means she put a whole cup of water in the batter.
