I was just trying to be able to create new local cookbooks in a dev environment

The idea behind Berkshelf is that you shouldn't use your local cookbooks. You should pull them from git, a chef api, opscode, etc. Setup Berkshelf to pull from the default location where they are and berks install.

I think that the plugin overrides the cookbook_path variable so "no"
is the answer. From http://berkshelf.com/

"Chef Solo provisioner

The Chef Solo provisioner’s cookbook_path attribute is hijacked when
using the Vagrant Berkshelf plugin. Cookbooks resolved from your
Berksfile will automatically be made available to your Vagrant virtual
machine. There is no need to explicitly set a value for cookbook_path
attribute."
