Steps:
- Combine flour, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in the bowl of a mixer. Add butter, and beat on low speed until dough comes together, about 5 minutes. Shape dough into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Roll out dough to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out forty 2-inch squares using a sharp paring knife and a ruler (alternatively, use a pizza cutter). Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing each about 1 inch apart. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pour boiling water over figs in a heatproof bowl. Let stand for 15 minutes. Puree figs in a food processor until smooth. Add quince paste, and pulse until combined.
- Whisk together egg yolks and heavy cream in a small bowl. Working with a few dough squares at a time, cut a 3/4-inch slit into the 4 corners of each, and brush surface with egg wash. Fold the 4 corners of each square into the center to form a pinwheel, and gently press the center to adhere.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon fig mixture into the center of each, and sprinkle entire cookie with sugar. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Bake until pale gold, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cookies cool on sheets set on wire racks for 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks, and let cool completely.
