Fig Swirls

['1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour', '1/4 teaspoon baking powder', '1/4 teaspoon baking soda', '1/4 teaspoon salt', '1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened', '4 oz cream cheese at room temperature', '1 large egg yolk', '1 teaspoon vanilla', '1 cup packed soft dried Mission figs (8 oz), hard tips discarded', '3/4 cup mild honey', '2 tablespoons fresh orange juice', '2 teaspoons grated fresh orange zest', '1/2 teaspoon cinnamon']

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
Pulse butter, cream cheese, yolk, and vanilla in a food processor until smooth, then add flour mixture and pulse until dough just forms a ball.
Halve dough and form each half into a roughly 6- by 2-inch rectangle. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, about 1 1/2 hours.
Purée figs, honey, juice, zest, and cinnamon in cleaned food processor until almost smooth.
Roll out 1 piece of dough between 2 sheets of wax paper into a 10- by 8-inch rectangle (about 1/3 inch thick), long side facing you. Remove top sheet of wax paper and gently spread one fourth of fig mixture over bottom half of dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Using wax paper as an aid, roll dough, jelly-roll style, halfway, enclosing fig mixture. Flip dough, with wax paper. Remove paper. Spread with one third of remaining fig mixture and roll in same manner, to form an S-shaped log. Make another log. Chill logs, wrapped in wax paper, until firm, at least 4 hours.
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
Cut logs crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices and arrange slices about 2 inches apart on lightly buttered baking sheets. Bake until pastry is pale golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to racks to cool.
