I've used knife solo to create a new folder and a cookbook with a default recipe using a custom template defined by .chef/knife.rb. My question is what command do I use for knife to create new recipes with that template instead of using cp?

Something like knife cookbook addrecipe somerecipe

once you have the cookbook created, then there will be recipe folder inside the cookbook . you can go on writing as many recipes as you want inside the recipes folder. AFAIK, knife cookbook does not provide any option for creating a new recipe. check knife cookbook --help
