Effects on Your Baking

Sea salt contains trace minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium) that give it a subtle complexity kosher salt lacks. For baking where salt is mixed in, the difference is negligible. For finishing (like flaky sea salt on chocolate chip cookies), kosher salt doesn't provide the same delicate crunch and mineral complexity.
