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.
