"This recipe is on the cover of the the 1998 Pillsbury Bake-off Quick & Easy cookbook. It looks really good, and though I haven't tried it, I plan to make it soon. The original recipe called for milk chocolate chips, but I like semi-sweet much better so I switched them in the recipe. I also plan to use chopped nuts on top rather than pecan halves as a garnish on top."

While crust is cooling, combine powdered sugar, peanut butter, butter and water in a medium bowl. If needed, add additional water 1 tsp at a time until the mixture is smooth.

Spread peanut butter mixture over cooled cookie crust.
