Firefly Gingerbread Cookies

I thought it would be fun to make the cast of Firefly in edible cookie form. I've never done this type of thing before, but I spent three days on these and everything is homemade. You might recognize some of the character designs I used as the excellent work of AtomicFireball. I made paper cut outs of each character and cut the dough with a knife. Then I used milk and dark chocolate for the browns. I used icing I made myself for all of the colored parts and colored sugar for the textures. The only exception is that for River's skirt and Badger's flamingo pin I used crushed peppermints. Some of the eyebrows are chocolate sprinkles.
