Preheat over to 325 degrees F.
In the same mixing bowl, cream sugar and cream cheese together with an electric mixture until smooth. Add egg and whisk until blend. Then, add pumpkin pie mix and mix well until smooth. Pour over the shortbread and nuts layers. Spread evenly. Sprinkle another 1 cup chopped nuts over the pumpkin batter. Bake for 40 minutes until the top is golden brown. Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour before cut into square.
