    Go to the Apple menu in the upper left corner of the screen, navigate to Dock settings.

    go in system preferences under Dock and turn on Magnification option, and use the slider bars to adjust how the sizes work

    The process is starting over again...

    You can also adjust the dock size while you are at it. Decreasing the dock size will make any magnification level you pick appear larger just as increasing the dock size will minimize the effect of magnification.
