You would recognize them as December payments.
1099's are issued based on when the income occured, not when it was actually received.
Since these checks were dated on 12/1 and 12/24 respectively, then they most likely occurred in the previous year and thus they were correctly included on the 1099MISC from the previous year.
That's the year that you report this income.
