Employee Bonus Paychecks Not Appearing

I have a company where the two owners pay themselves once a year, and since they do it for an even amount (example: $2000), but it needs to be run through payroll, I have to use QBs payroll to calculate net pay, instead of gross.  The only way I could find to do that in QBO, which I need to use instead of the previous years' QBD, is by paying them each a "bonus" check - but when I did that, the checks seemed to be created and are printable in the Payroll Center, but those transactions are not appearing anywhere else in QBO.

I triple checked the bank account and date of those checks, and still the actual transactions aren't appearing in the check register or in transaction search.  But when I go to the Payroll Center, I can see that they exist, and I can print them - they just aren't actually affecting the books somehow!?

What is going on?
