Redshirt Gingerbread Men (inspired by Foxtrot)

I was inspired by this Foxtrot Strip and I just had to make them!

Follow this Instructable to make your own little army of expendables.

Step 1: Gingerbread Recipe

You will need:

Ginger Bread Recipe
3 Cups Flour
3/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Ground Ginger
1 3/4 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cloves
3/4 Stick of Butter, melted (6 Tablespoons)
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar, packed
1 Egg
1/2 Cup Molasses

Royal Icing Recipe

The Fondant Recipe (If you would like to make the shirts from it, as I have) is a separate Instructable,

You will also need Red food coloring for the shirts. As well as Blue, Yellow, and Black if you intend to make an away-team.

I love this and can imagine everyone at a party cruelly maiming and eating the redshirts first so that you have like 10 science officers left.

Adorable! I shared it on facebook - I know too many Star Trek nerds not to. :D

Oh those are so adorable I could just eat them up. ;)
Going to share these at the ST fan web site. :D

My husband laughed so hard at that comic that I thought I'd have to intervene. These cookies will be a HUGE hit at his upcoming birthday. Thanks for the inspiration!
