Best Answer

Liquid provides moisture. After all, you couldn't just put a lump of flour and sugar in the oven and hope for it to turn into a batch of cookies. Even if you leave out all the liquids, but still put in the other wet ingredients, you'll find that the dough/batter seems quite dry and not the right texture.

Liquids are used to hydrate proteins, starch and leavening agents. They also improve the mouthfeel of the final product. When the water vaporizes in the batter or dough, the steam expands in the air cells, increasing the final volume of the product.
