The Halloween biscuits recipe is my go-to recipe for potlucks. It’s easy to make, you can bake a large batch quickly, and they’re perfect finger food. A few years ago, my dance school hosted a Halloween potluck, and everyone had to bring a Halloween-themed dish. That’s when I decided to turn my classic cottage cheese biscuits into a spooky treat – Halloween Biscuits.
I colored dark one part of the dough and cut the biscuits into pumpkin shapes. Then I added eyes and mouth with pumpkin seeds. Because of their look, and since it is a Halloween recipe, I decided to call it Mr. Skeleton’s Hidden Treasure.
My Halloween Cottage Cheese Biscuits were a huge hit at the potluck, with everyone loving both the look and taste. I hope you enjoy this Halloween biscuits recipe! For more delicious Halloween recipes, be sure to check out my collection of Halloween-inspired treats here.

Mr. Skeleton's Hidden Treasure
Ingredients
- 3 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour 400g
- 1 ¾ cups cottage cheese 400g
- 2 ¼ sticks unsalted butter 250g
- ¼ oz instant dry yeast 7g
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablets activated charcoal
- 1 egg
- pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt.
- Add the butter and cottage cheese to the dry ingredients. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth and firm dough. Divide the dough into two equal parts.
- Using a mortar and pestle, crush the activated charcoal tablets into a fine powder.
- Mix the powdered charcoal into one portion of the dough until evenly distributed.
- You can either use the dough immediately or let it rest overnight in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor. If refrigerating, wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap.
- Preheat your oven to 3550℉ (180℃).
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- On a clean, lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll out one portion of the dough to about ½ inch (1.2 cm) thick.
- Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into cracker shapes. Repeat with the second portion of dough.
- Place the cut-out crackers on the prepared baking tray.
- Place pumpkin seeds on top of each cracker.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg with a pinch of salt, then brush it over the tops of the crackers.
- Bake the crackers in the preheated oven at 355°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the crackers cool on a wire rack before serving.
