One dozen is equal to 12, so 2 dozen brownies is equal to 2 x 12 = 24 brownies.
Father ate 8 brownies, so there were 24 - 8 = 16 brownies remaining.
Mooney ate 4 brownies, so there were 16 - 4 = 12 brownies remaining.
Mother made another two dozen brownies, which is equal to 2 x 12 = 24 brownies.
Adding the 24 brownies to the 12 remaining brownies gives a total of 24 + 12 = 36 brownies on the counter.
#### 36
The answer is: 36
