    The story follows Claire "Cookie" Taylor (Fisher), who holds the record for all-time girl scout cookie sales. When she learns that a precocious fifth grader threatens to end her 20-year reign as cookie queen, she sets out to sabotage her.

    Fisher will also serve as a producer. She is best known for her breakout performance as a sex-crazed society girl in the 2005 comedy "Wedding Crashers," and as the fiancée of "Borat" star Sacha Baron Cohen. She most recently appeared in the crime drama "The Lookout." She next appears in "Wedding Daze" opposite Jason Biggs. In the can, Fisher has "Definitely, Maybe" with Ryan Reynolds and Rachel Weisz, and "Hot Rod" with Andy Samberg.

    "The Cookie Queen" was written by Jeremy Haft and Ed Gonzalez, who have the Vince Vaughn comedy "Heckled" set up at New Line.
