22 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
A dozen items means 12 number of items.
Number of cookies brought by Sherry = No. of containers multiplied by number of cookies in one container
= 2 6 = 12

Number of cookies brought by Sandy = 2
Number of cookies brought by Sherry, Sally and Sandy together = 12 + 12+2 = 26
Total number of cookies to be brought = 4 dozen = 48 cookies
Number of cookies to be brought by Harry = Total number of cookies to be brought - Number of cookies brought by Sherry, Sally and Sandy together
48 - 26 = <em>22 cookies</em>
