Gingerbread Women

No, this isn't about redressing the gender balance but last time I made these I only made gingerbread woman. They were for the impressionist-themed garden party, and were designed to be Gauguin-style Tahitian beauties. While that objective may not have been met, the recipe is a good one I have used for many years.
