In a saucepan, combine the chopped figs and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Transfer the figs to a food processor and blend until smooth.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut it into rectangles.

Place a spoonful of fig filling in the center of each rectangle, fold over, and seal the edges.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden.
