Roll out each dough half into a 1/3 inch rectangle. Divide fig mixture between rectangles and spread evenly, leaving a 1/4 inch border around edges. Roll dough into logs, starting with long edge. Roll logs in raw sugar to coat. Wrap dough logs in wax paper and refrigerate 4 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut dough logs into 1/3 inch thick slices and place 2 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake cookies 15 to 17 minutes until light golden. Transfer cookies to racks to cool.
